What would you do??
 

Let?s say you had a heads up and your competitor gets caught towing his car to the lanes. Would you make him drive back to his trailer and back to the lanes? push for a DQ or just line up??

Re: What would you do??
 

If he got caught you should've had a bye!

Re: What would you do??
 

This. Not your decision.

Now if an official didn't see it, then it's up to someone to bring it to their attention.

Re: What would you do??
 

I would notify an official. Then whatever happens?happens.

Under NHRA rules, Stock Eliminator cars are prohibited from being towed to the staging lanes. Once competition has begun, vehicles must be driven under their own power at all times.

The reasoning behind these rules, especially in classes like Stock Eliminator, is to prevent racers from using a tow vehicle to gain an unfair performance advantage. This includes keeping the engine's temperature at an optimal level, which is a key part of the human talent and race strategy.



LOL ,

Never said it was my decision he asked a question and I gave my answer.

If a tech guy caught me doing that I would get sent back to my trailer. Well when there was tech I should say. But he did say he got caught so if indeed he got caught you would think he would get a bye.

Fact remains there are certain teams with premium pit spots that happen to have a lot of buddies willing to push their cars into the lanes. Given that if they pass fuel check and go across the scales then let the better car/driver win the race.

He was not pushed he was towed up with a truck. Hid behind the tech building, peeked around to make sure nobody was looking, unhooked his car and drove it around the corner

Re: What would you do??
 

It was pointed out to NHRA at the head of staging, if they walked around the corner they would?ve seen him unhooking but decided to turn a blind eye. I was told they would have a talk with him.. this was a seasoned racer who 100% new he was in the wrong and I was told a few racers told him leaving his pit it was not right.

Re: What would you do??
 

If he plays that game he's a cheater.
Back in the day we would push our car up the hill at Maple Grove to get the "free" TT.
Would have I liked to tow that 3,570 beast to the top of lanes? For sure.
**** him.

Re: What would you do??
 

To be fair all stocker should park the same distance from the lanes!
