Does Anyone Remember This Guy ????

I realize where the picture was taken. I know about the Soutwest Jr fuel Asso. They are at some of the Outlaw Fuel Altered Asso. races. I have had several talks with Frank Parks discussing the Jr. fuel races. If you check their schedules you will see they do run at NHRA tracks.
2010 Schedule

April 17th - Evadale Raceway - Evadale, TX - 1/4 mile
(Winner: Richard Brady - Runner Up: Ken Hawkins)

May 29th - Dallas Raceway's SWJFA Finals - Crandall, TX - 1/4 mile
(Winner: Kenneth Stallard - Runner Up: Mike Millsap)

June 18-20th - Beech Bend Raceway Park - Bowling Green, KY - 1/4 mile
(Non Points Race)(Winner: Ricky Marshall - Runner Up: Ken Hawkins)

July 3rd - North Star Dragway - Denton, TX - 1/8 mile
(Winner: Richard Brady - Runner Up: Thomas Hixson)

September 4th - Ardmore Raceway Hot Rod Reunion - Ardmore, OK - 1/8 mile
(Winner: Odie Coker - Runner Up: Steve Dunkin)

September 25th - Tulsa Raceway Park Nitro Nationals - Tulsa, OK - 1/4 mile

October 23rd - Texas Timing Assoc. State Championships - San Antonio, TX - 1/4 mile

November 6th - SWJFA Finals at Concrete Palace - Crandall, TX - 1/4 mile
(Race has been canceled due to uncontrollable circumstances

I also checked their rules and found... see line 8

Safety Equipment:

- Helmet and Protective Clothing: Minimum Snell SA 2000 helmet as required by NHRA.
- A SFI Spec 3.2a/15 full fire suit (1 or 2 piece) allowed as required by NHRA.
- All suits to include the following: neck collar SFI Spec 3.3 mandatory, boots or shoes 3.3/5 as required by NHRA mandatory, gloves 3.3/5, and adequate face protection meeting all proper NHRA Specs and requirements. A head sock or skirted helmet required if transmission is located in driver's compartment.
- Arm restraints mandatory
- Valid NHRA competition license mandatory
- Any car with no cross member above drivers legs must have strap or device to prevent legs from projecting outside the chassis.
- Three inch driver restraint system meeting SFI Spec 16.1 mandatory. Restraint system must be updated in two year intervals from date of manufacture.

I guess that is just a line in the rules that has been overlooked since no one told me how someone banned for life gets a license. Oh, is it a case of NHRA providing a license because they need the money? I'm just curious because I want to use NOS on my Super Stocker.
