Disparity in amouts of fines?

[Silly Savage]

To Lori-

It will go into the NHRA "kitty".

Good question. But you aint gonna like the answer.

I agree that it should go somewhere that advances the sport - but, it won't...

Investing in the NHRA is like investing in your toilet, you get to keep the money that won't fit down it after you've thrown so much in that it backs it up...

ok ok ok...I got to ask you Jeff.....is that really your last name??? Sorry...I had to ask...LOLOLOL

The difference between the 2 fines is that Shumacher brought in an ILLEGAL drum to an NHRA track! It was known before they entered the gates, so they knew they were breaking a rule.
Force on the other hand was in the middle of a heated argument when the official tried to get between Force and Pedregon. The official is partly to blame for physically placing himself in the middle of the heated argument...has anyone here ever tried to break up 2 big dogs from fighting? You more than likely get bit doing so.
Too bad there wasnt a waterhose nearby to "hose em down" as my grandma did our dogs when they got to fighting...

Someone please enlighten Tim on the facts of the Shumacher debacle. His are all wrong.

What is done with the fine money? I am serious, so please at least one reply that is valid. I know there will be a lot of funny and sarcastic replies to this question.,
Kind of like paying double the fine for a speeding ticket to keep it off your record. (I have not done this myself, my kids have. I refuse. I will take the gamble that the insurance company doesn't find out). What a racket that is!! They collect tons of money around here doing that and I wonder where it goes as the economy has caused our city to cut back on police cruisers, patrol officers, etc. Are ya kidding me? They make a ton off of this deal they have going.
So, does anyone know what is done with this fine money? DRAW would be a good landing spot IMO.

Draw would be a great idea.......or every penney of a fine goes into the World Championship fund so the racers can make more money......Hince if they (NHRA) start the oil down rule again, each dollar of every top fuel or funny car, that gets fined for "oiling the track" the money goes to that class and everyone in the top 10 makes more money,god knows they all need more money.

Schumacher ALLEGEDLY was circumventing an exclusive NHRA supplier by having the nitro in his pit. So he was ALLEGEDLY hurting NHRA's pocketbook which equals a record fine.

Force v. Pedregon was an incident that was heat of the moment and nobody got hurt, especially NHRA's pocketbook, so a smaller fine was in order.

These incidents have absolutely nothing to do with each other and the posit of this thread is superfluous at best. It is akin to asking what if C-A-T spelled dog.

Yes. Absolutely.

I was pretty sure that this was a name verification site...

Why do you ask?

I'm sure it's because me (and I would imagine him as well) probably chuckle whenever I see it.

Yep I've known Jeff T, his parents, and his grandparents for 40 yrs.
I owe a lot of my success to his mom and dad.
