If NHRA wants this to be a deterrent, why not spell it out? Unless the car had a dominator on it, it would seem that the punishment did not fit the crime here. The lift sure wasn't extreme.
Is this in the rulebook or amendments to the rulebook in a very specific way or is it written by a Chicago Politician?

Many of us have been in this situation and I agree the punishment doesn't fit the crime .My advise - ask for the hearing and I'm sure common sense will prevail .He'll have to put up the $1,000 to get his "day in court" but in the end they'll return it .

As for Don feeling bad - he shouldn't - it doesn't have the signs of an intentional cheat - a few thousandths of extra cam lift or venturi area isn't going to pick his car up any .
