The benefit would be to the person selling them. They can take old belts and sell them as new.

I highly doubt Bob would knowingly do something like this. Definitely not worth the trouble over a $50-100 item.

Looks like the fine and suspension was mainly because he didn't allow NHRA to confiscate the belts and the discussion between him and NHRA may have got a little heated.

Correct, but I was referring to after he serves the suspension. Maybe he will appeal and it will get reduced.

I hope after a cool down period. He appeals it and it gets reduced or taken away completely.
Bob is a great racer and a real nice guy. I'm sure there are 2 sides to this story.

What is this with the NHRA handing out X-tra large fines and suspensions eerily similar to Nascar...

Does anyone know any details about this?? $15k....



I don't think this is the future vision Wally Parks had for the sport!

C&P from YB. Probably very lucky he has the magic last name if this is true.

So at the Indy Divisional a friend of mine's rig is parked along the wall of the back stretch of the oval track there. Right near the outside of what would be turn three. I forgot what time, but let's call it 2am, my friends who were asleep in their rig heard "BANG!!!!" Woke up and thought someone had run into their motor home. They look out the window and there's a car out on the circle track that must have been racing or something, but anyway it had found itself into the wall so hard it deployed the airbags and appeared to have totaled the car. After a couple of minutes two occupants emerged, appearing to have been stunned by the impact &/or getting blasted in the face with airbags. Perhaps inebriated, they assessed their totaled car and abandoned it. Multiple officers to the scene, etc.

We were wondering who that was.......

Bob is one of those-Good Ol Boys-still holds the record for-The Alabama 60 mile Moonshine Run-hard to fight when you refuse to turn over what nhra wanted

you know the two year seatbelt rule is a waste of money.i have piles of seat belts in my storage shed. i am in the wrecker buss. i pull cars out of the bayous around houma LA all of the time and when the window is down and the vehicle is not upside down i reach in and hook my winch cable to the stock seat belts all the time and pull it out of the water.now that stock belt is half the size and half the thichness and most of the time 20 years old. about a year ago i posted on my facebook page where i was holding a 1989 olds cutlass completly off the ground with one seat belt winched high in the air from my wrecker.i wish i still had that pic.but i did send it to the emmons bros facebook page.so you tell me that the race harness is weeker than a 20 year old stock belt!!!!!!

Interesting that this wasn't posted in the NHRA.com racer section? Wonder why it was tucked in the corner of National Dragster?

If he was suspended for 3 months on the 28th of last month how is he racing at Norwalk this weekend. On DRC it shows him qualified #4 in Top Sportsman?
