Burnouts in the Indy Pits
 

So why are there three separate racers with action taken against them by NHRA for doing a burnout in the pits, but only one (McCue) disqualified and fined, while the other two (Lane and Tasca) were only fined??????

Well, since no one is talking, ...I guess we will never know.....The rest of the story....

Bryan, I asked the same ? about a week ago in"The Lounge". No replies. I was hoping someone at Indy would have some insight. I don't believe it's 3 separate incidents. Sounds like it could be some type of team punishment..

They must have had the lights on in the "Electric car". Dead give a way. Never mind that cloud of tire smoke.

Cause it’s NHRA what else could it be?

Re: Burnouts in the Indy Pits
 

The first time trial didnt work out to good doing a burnout. The team went on the road going into the track. Fixed what was wrong and did a good burn out. No one was around except I was in a golf cart watching. Didnt seem like a big deal. They were just fixing the car

some rules only apply to some people some of the time... and that is a fact. ;-)

Re: Burnouts in the Indy Pits
 

That sounds good until there is an accident. Then you guys would be calling out the NHRA for allowing stuff like that......

Gary,
How did it sound, if any?

Re: Burnouts in the Indy Pits
 

Is not the first time NHRA issues this type of fines to other racers for actions in the surrounding areas of the track. It happened to Leah and I also believe that one of the Coughlin's got fined for either speeding and also crashing a car at the track.

all three of them got whacked.. it's on nhraracer.com



I will say this, it seems some people here seem to think this is ok, it ain't. Anybody that thinks it is should check the general regulations section of the rule book. Things I have seen; cars running with no one in them, two-step/trans-brake "testing", dry hops, and burn outs in the pits and/or staging lanes and/or return road.. I can't speak for any other of the divisions but when Chuck Nelson was the boss in D4, you got a "talking to" if anybody on the D4 tech crew saw it.. there were no second warnings needed.. and having said that, these kinds of infractions were few and far between in D4. In addition to these things being safety issues going all the way back to the beginning of NHRA, it is also an insurance issue, and all you racers are the ones paying for it.. ponder that for awhile.

They all got whacked and should have. was Pat McCue the one that went out side on the street and that is why he was DQ'ed? All should have been.
