NHRA reinstates Sportsman oil down penalties

[keith ohanesian]

Then Rich you should know why.. If it wasn't for class racing you and your box racing would never be there..

Next year is gonna be great! Anybody that knows me knows that it is very possible that I could leave a National having to pay over 2 grand in fines and have to break a friends golf cart out of jail.

And ha I heard that spectators are gonna have right of way over ALL sportman cars also... I'll be like Dale Sr. driving thru those crowds..

Wait till these dumb f's start charging for your dogs that everyone has to bring to the track.. Why are there so many freaking dogs? and poo poo everywhere!

Bryan the last time Tueton got involved in something with NHRA these under rated DP ( DOUBLE PENATRATION) cars were built.

Keith, you may have the wrong mindset here. First I've never met a racer that intended on oiling the track, that's just bad manners, second to intentionally run over a spectator is just plain STUPID!!!! Remeber we are "SPORTSMAN" racers and we are expected to conduct ourselves as such. Next we as many do bring our dogs with us, we walk them and clean up after them, we prefer to have them with us versus boarding them. I have never had anyone ask me to please not bring my dog to their pit area. I believe that the number of sportsman racers affected by this is going to be minimal, not saying I think it's fair or right mainly because I've NEVER heard of a local track fining their racers for oiling the track. Cleaning the track of debris is part of conducting business, I'm sure the track owner would rather not have to do it, however to conduct his business he has to eat the expense. Everyone on here complaining of this does have a choice..... they don't have to race these events. Lack of participation will certainly get their attention. Joe

You are a jerk if you think for one moment Jeff's participation in the Sportsman Commitee has had anything but the overall racers best interest at heart.
Maybe be you need some "double penetration". Of some smarts

Jeff didn't get those DPs getting approved. That's pretty low.
