That's an understatement! Topeka was not Mr. Light's best moment as a supporter of the sportsman racer.

I can't EVER see that happening. Maybe you could ask one of your crew guys to get ornery with one of the officials for you. That's about the only way I could see YOU getting thrown out...

Thanks for the info guys. I was pretty much just wondering what paper work the DRR topic was referring to. I'm really not that worried about it. If I get a chance I'll look ya up Rock. Pat, your right, remembering things is a simple thing to do, like remembering to check your mirrors before you make a turn!!

The deal with Jim Hughes being tossed at Topeka was a really raw deal. IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED!!!! I was there and racing SG also and witnessed it.
NHRA has a problem with organization and just won't face reality. We stood in line for about one and a half hours without the window even being opened as they had run out of credentials/tickets. The story was all the credentials/tickets were shipped to Chicago instead of Topeka. I can tell you from experience the same thing happened last year. The only difference was NHRA discovered it a day earlier last year and overnighted them back a day earlier last year.
After standing in line for the hour and one half NHRA came up with 60 credentials/tickets. We managed to be in that 60 and got thru the line but did get a photo copy of a parking pass for driving into the track. I later observed a long, long line at the credential trailer with no progress. I was told by a person in that long line that the racers were told to take their paperwork to the staging lanes when called to make a time trial. I did not see anyone checking the paperwork in the lanes or collecting any of it.
It is hard for me to believe an organization like NHRA can be so disorganized.
Jim was tossed but offered his entry fees back. Getting money back from NHRA never happens so it tells me NHRA thinks they may not be entirely correct on this one.
We can not stand in line to get our payout checks but we can stand in line hours for credentials.
Go Figure!!!!!!!

This makes perfect sense! In one case, NHRA wants to make sure they have your money before you race. In the other case, NHRA doesn't want to give you any money. So, in both cases, it benefits NHRA!

See, I told you it made sense...
