This is more than an expired sticker on a show car. This is a Top Fuel car with a passenger. Anyone can point me to the SFI spec for that?

Maybe if there was no video of the car making passes I could see this being excessive, but he made test passes with a passenger and ran it at a NHRA and IHRA track.

A chassis certification is only concerned with the cockpit, I doubt the number of cockpits makes any difference to the SFI spec. If both meet spec I don't see the issue. NHRA or IHRA has never been concerned with what was ahead of my feet or behind my head when certifying our chassis.

The entire video is shot at Palm Beach which is an IHRA track. What happens at an IHRA track is none of NHRA's business. It made test passes at an NHRA track that is true.

You don't see an indefinite ban being excessive? Banned for life for doing something different at another sanctioning bodies track?

In the interview with Larry, NHRA was fully aware of what he was doing, and was excited about the idea. I'm wondering if it had something to due with the Traxxas on the side of the car.
