Hope that also applies to the TD, TS & Alky cars.

Re: NHRA reinstates Sportsman oil down penalties
"All teams will receive one oildown credit at the start of the 2011 NHRA national event season, however no further credits will be awarded during the season."
And, as per the NHRA website: "COMP, SS, STOCK, SC, SG, SST, TD, & TS PENALTIES: First violation of an event (after use of credit) will result in a two hundred fifty dollar ($250) fine, plus:" bla bla bla... I guess that's better than it was, but it's still BS IMO to levy oildown fines against the competitors in Stk., S/S, S/C, S/G, and S/St...

Re: NHRA reinstates Sportsman oil down penalties
While it's not common for sportsman cars to oil down the track, fines for index classes is like kicking someone when they're down for the count.

Yes.
Alkey and ProMod get a $500 fine for 1st infraction plus points / qualifing loss and $1000 for second infraction. They will still be oiling regardless of the fine.

Re: NHRA reinstates Sportsman oil down penalties
I don't think the fine would affect me. It would probably take me at least a year to get the car running again after the first oildown.
