Chad,

I don't think it would be INAPPROPRIATE for NHRA to do this. However, at the risk of pissing off some of my racing photographer friends it would perhaps be more appropriate
for the photographer to pay all of Racin Mason's expenses involved with his participation in this event. The photographer may not have known his flash could have caused a malfunction in the starting system. But, he should have known better than to take a shot
using a flash WHILE the tree was coming down if for no other reason than the possible
distraction for the driver. Of course, the value of all the fun Racin Mason had at the event
should be deducted from whatever payment the photographer would make and he should
give a copy of the photo to him also so we could see it posted on the forum.

This whole deal is very interesting.
