1: what is the 2nd highest fine NHRA has levied?


2: I see XXX Racing Fuel sponsorship showing up on a few PS bikes--how is that possible in light of the "offical fuel of NHRA" being VP? Is it just sticker + not actual fuel used?

 

[none]

Biggest fine was $100,000.00

And the bikes must run a VP fuel, the xxx is a sponsorship deal, not the type of fuel in the tank.

As for question two I would imagine it has to deal with what was agreed upon during the negotiations in becoming the official whatever. WHile we have seen eneregy drinks and such get squeezed out due to "official" deals others are allowed. Pontiac is the official car but mopar and Ford are allowed to sponsor. UPS has/had some type of deal yet DHL and MTS sponsor and
mach1 used to be involved.

Thanks Alan-but my 1st question was what was the SECOND highest fine. I know NASCAR throws out big number fines with ease-I dont remember the last fine NHRA publicized-curious how much harsher DSR's was compared to whatever 2nd was.

They were looking for mid $20s from Jerry Ekman IIRC, I don't know if it ever got reduced or paid.

i thought i read somewhere that the fine for eckman/orndorf nos pit explosion ordeal was somewhere around 40 to 50k

 

[FINMAN]

I think a "fat lip " fine is 5,000.

Sherman,

Sorry, I missed the 2nd. I think it was Eckman at 50k, but I couldn't swear to that.

[FINMAN]

It was 50,000 and a 2 years suspension

Wayne County had a stiffer penalty then Schumacher. The vandals (surely a paid hit by the NHRA) destroyed all their engines which I am sure was more then $100k.

yeah but they did it themselves, so really they ended up back at zero
