A pretty grave violation but I guess the majority rules. You throw these guys out you dont have a show. To top it off, change the rules and let-em race. Big names and slap on the wrist and wallet. Wow. Just wow!

Feel bad for the competitors that played by the rules. Much more succesful to cheat and win and pay the fine. The new NHRA. Get you some

Worst part about this is no-one knows how long they have been doing it...no-one runs these classes to make $$$(payouts are brutal, especially in Factory X). Most, if not all these guys are racing for trophy and Championships....there is grey...and then there is black and white. Unless all the people involved do not know how to count up to 34, they are blatantly cheating. $2500bucks is a drop in the bucket....some guys have millions invested(including rigs, cars, spares, testing +++). Strip these guys of all of their points for the entire season...example must be made...these classes are already hanging on by a thread! IMHO

Kevin, you're dead on with a 0

Re: Fine them and then make it legal. Wowwser
 

So does that mean Stanfield will loose his first person to double up at the US Nationals title. Does the the runner up in Factory X now become the 2024 Champ?
Think of the tens of thousand of dollars spent by the rest of the class only to be beat by teams with illegal Parts.

NHRA has allowed this to happen and is catering to this environment! And don't think for one second that it's only a problem in Factory Stock and Factory X, it's ALL of the eliminators! We are given rules to adhere to which are (supposedly) overseen by the Tech Dept. and then the Tech Dept. isn't funded well enough to make sure that the rules are being adhered to.

and youze guyz can't understand why I can't take this stuff seriously anymore.

I see that the fines go towards funding the Safety Safari. From NHRA statement of action, "The fine will be dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of the Safety Safari". I've heard/read plenty about how the tech/inspections aren't funded well enough to police rules effectively. Given that these are rules violations in the performance of race car, why not send the money collected from these fines to enhancing the capabilities of tech and inspections?

Someone needs to remind Aaron Stanfield where to mail the Wally and the purse.

Re: Fine them and then make it legal. Wowwser
 

I?m very surprised at this. All those guys know what they are doing and the blower pulley is the easiest thing in the world to check on those cars and they know that. I can?t help but wonder if there was/is some confusion over the spec and all the recent ?level the playing field ? changes ????

Kp

THIS^^^ that said there's more cheating in Stock and Super Stock :D

Re: Fine them and then make it legal. Wowwser
 

Hey, what's the problem? It's the same amount of teeth either way.


Yes, that was sarcasm. It hurts to see racers I respected a lot being caught with this. No doubt we might hear "but the other guys..." but that is never a defense even if it was happening.
