Don't believe it's a secret that adult beverages are sometimes consumed at these races. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you have like a 24 hour period from being picked to testing? Joe

I was one of the choosen few and if nothing else, you get to talk to people that you would normally not even get close to. I had a conversation with Mike Edwards while we both waited to take our turns peeing in the cup. (Not the same cup and not at the same time either.) We had a few laughs about the circumstances which opened other subjects. I'm sure that he would have never crossed my path to have a conversation with if it wasn't for the drug testing.

Hey Casey, Just another example of NHRA bringing people together. LOL.

At Indy lost a motor in A/SA. Loaded the car with help from Kenny and Amy Faulk. A little pissed but will make it thru this. Ready for a beer. Lady drives up and hands me the papers. Really just looked at Kenny. Went to trailer and had to wait on a Pro Stock motorcycle rider. Hour and half later got to drink a beer. Next morning left track and had a blowout on trailer before the airport. Tire hit a car. Four hours later cop and time to come home. This is why we race.

Fun, fun, fun. Right Bobby?

There's a racer at our local track (has won many races..past track champ ect.) that appears to be drunk all the time. Now he's been tossed before, for drinking while racing knowing him for 30 years I really can't tell if he's been drinking or just acting. I'm just glad he doesn't run the same class as my son. He's never had an accident that I'm aware of but as with most things I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Like everything else some folks take things a bit too far. Most racers I know like to kick back and have a few drinks in the evening...I don't have an issue with that as long as they're not drunk and in the other lane. Joe

I wonder what would be the result if they tested Compton? I mean you know he would fail! Jim

I know they came to SS driver Chris Chaney for a drug test.
They likely learned that young man leads a boring life. LOL
