Leaving the track in handcuffs? All hell breaking loose? C'mon people this is all supposed to be in fun amongst sportsman. Let's get a little perspective here, please. We're talking about drag racing, not someone harming your family. Some of you take this sport way too seriously.

Hey Mr Another, when I was racing Stock it was all consuming to me to go out there and do my best to win rounds. I did it according to the rules. You don't have to give someone a knuckle sandwich to be put in handcuffs. A strong protest that would correct the non enforcement of the rules we raced under would probably be enough to have the wimps they call NHRA officials to call in the local police.
All hell would come under the same heading.
I hope I didn't hurt your self esteem, there's an awful lot of that going around lately.

And Mr Schaechter, I guess if someone shot me and only grazed me it would be OK because he didn't kill me. Sheesh.

Ok so if you lost to a person that should have by rule been DQ’ed on a race that would have gave you a free ride to the final (ie guaranteed runner up money). You would just be hey whatever we are just here to have a good time.
Rules are meant to be for everyone. Obviously if the track crew had to go out to get the bags off the track it was obvious they knew it happened and decided to ignore it.
