That is a bit a bull**** rule, I say that because at our home track they also have an oildown penalty of a $1000.00 however... they do not enforce it if you have a diaper or belly pan. If they feel you did what you could to prevent it then its not your fault.

Don't over react guys. I was involved at a pro level when all this stuff started. An oil down back then, was defined as "WHEN THE TRUCKS ROLL". As long as NHRA doesn't get crazy about mopping up a few drips, I don't think we have much to be worried about. At least I hope that's the case.

Has any Sportsman racer been subject to the oil down tax yet?

I would expect that Markus Svensen got a fine for his trans blow up on Thursday in Pomona with Meadors great white whale. It was about a half hour clean up.
