500K Haulers-Rigs
Not to mention race weekend expenses like race fuel, travel fuel, tires, and food!

IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD THE MONEY FOR NEW SEAT BELTS, BUT YOU SPEND $100 ON A BEER FOR THE WEEKEND, YOUR PRIORITIES ARE REALLY MESSED UP. BUT EVEN WORSE, IT'S YOUR SAFETY!!

S/SS is an ego sport, plain and simple!!

I agree, Bob is a nice guy. But those that know him also know he skirted the system all the time. NHRA found a chance to get even. Plain and simple!
Sounds fine. Until you are the one get even with?
We don't have a clue about how this went down. Who said what and How what was said.
I have been on the get even side a NHRA myself. Being tossed for to little compression, being not allowed to race because of an obvious typo, getting horsepower for going fast where they stated in print wouldn't count. And last but far from least running a final round 3 times (that one was back in the Farmer/Wally days).
If any of you think it's okay for NHRA to get back at someone Please have the guts to print who you are.
