Marty Rinehart can you comment on this issue? If this is the case how is this legal to phone in a protest? That can’t be correct?

Per the rule book, only a NHRA official can instigate a protest without a protest fee.
A competitor that protest has to be on site, in the same class and put up the fee money.

I believe asking Marty to comment is out of bounds. It's wasn't within his Division (One).

Frank I hate to say it, but you’re out of touch on this subject, you don’t know the details and didn’t read between the lines. Please refrain from commenting on this particular issue

Gary,
You called me yesterday and we discussed the situation. I told you , I would look into this and get to the bottom of it……And I am!
Please forgive me for not getting back to you sooner, because we do have a business to run. I was not aware of who protested from the beginning and I’m insulted that you doubted my integrity.
Gary, I understand that this is a heated subject right now, so I don’t take offense to your personal attacks.
I know you’re angry, and being the SRAC rep makes me your easy target.

Until you have been a victim of something like this you can not have any idea of how this makes you feel. Until you have been that victim you can not comment on how someone should feel.
I to was a victim of an unknown protest and I also knew who the protester was and NHRA would not admit it.
I also had support from other racers but that did not change the stigma associated with it and it still lingers years later. I am still upset about it as it was just vengeance by a racer who NHRA let get away with it scot free. No monetary or sanction of any kind.
It all depends on who you are and who you know.

I feel you brother, this happened to me multiple times over the last 20 years in ihra from a well known delay box ford driver!!!! Hell, tech even came to my own personal shop and measured my hoods for legality! Of coarse i was legal, but it was on then after that. You may want to put some money on your adversary when y'all are at the same race...just saying!
