NHRA Sportsman Racer Advisory Council "HAZMAT" ?????

[art leong]

I was "hazwopper" qualified at work. And if I can remember right. You only have to label cans when there is someone else that may mistake the fluid for something else.
If I am the only one changing my oil I can put it in anything I want, and it does not have to be labeled. I was going to play with the guy at the gate and ask if he went to the 8 hour, 40 hour, or 80 hour course. And then show him the credentials I carried in my wallet.
But I decided not to and on more thought I leave my credentials home now. Don't want to wear a target, if I spilled a drop or 2.

Mr Brannon, Im from D7 #746. I was wondering after making some reply's on other threads about this subject if its possible we can get some clear insite as to how this is going to be implemented at the track? I have read what some guy's from Florida had to do and sign at the track and there thoughts. My question to you is as a SRAC member have you guy's been informed or was anyone from the SRAC involved when this was implemented? Thank you.

Easy Brannon, down boy. I sent an email for clarification on some points especially about taking it with you when you leave. Easy, down, easy. Nothing in their deal is anything new. Would be nice to know what triggered it. If I don't get an answer by Friday, I will try to call somebody for more info.

Good point. 'Nothing in their deal is anything new.' Just letting you know they are enforcing it. If anything goes wrong, they have educated you (video at registration) on proper protocol.We just need to properly dispose of waste.

What triggered it? Maybe it was a disgruntled employee on a fuel team blew the whistle. Or maybe a tree hugger was sipping some herbal tea while watching a national event on tv and saw something in the background while the camera was following around John Force back in his pits. Thats another good reason to show some sportsman racing on Sunday instead of a loud mouth icon eating up airtime.

At the first race in Bradenton, everyone was asked to take thier used oil with them and not dump it anywhere on premis. There were also no collection containers available...

Kinda funny how now at NHRA owned tracks you are required to pay a disposal fee, instead of just allowed to take the used oil with you... We all know the Alky cars are the only "Sportsman" racers who "Should" be affected by this, but leave it to NHRA to find yet another way of getting a few more $$$ from every racer in attentdance...

Jeff my man, I am not pushing the panic button. Here is my intake on this. Change your oil at the track, put back in the bottles that your new oil came out .. When you leave track just DUMP back into engine. Drain when you get home. Still cheaper than paying you know WHO. What can they say on that?
