They also lost 10 points in this. Ricky Jones was fined 10k and 25points for modifying the auto shutdown/parachute in a way the NHRA did not deem appropriate.

From my understanding they(elite team) had wired it in to also shut down the fuel as it normally only shuts down ignition and releases the chutes.

I just got around to watching the Summit Nationals race last night on my DVR, and every eliminations round, he never closed his visor when going down the track. Bet the cameras are coming out of the Summit cars. Any other driver could be doing the same and had it not been televised, know one would have seen it.

The only thing that makes televised Pro drag racing half-way interesting is the in-car cameras. I'll bet I'm not alone with that thought. And now I'll bet most, if not all, pro teams pull the cameras out. Another reason not to watch TV coverage.

Exclamation Re: Expensive visor raise

It seems Mr Anderson has been warned repeatedly about lifting his visor--- NHRA has warned him both verbally and in writing over the past several years----FED387
