Hey, it's not like Light's Out or the NHRA handled it very PC. I simply calls it as I see's it!

I think a 3rd party needs to govern the psort, the teams pooling up and doing it could get ugly. It's always hard to police yourself while trying to get the advantage on your competitors
A good thing too. Please don't take any offense as none was meant. I'm just a guest here and don't want to stir things up, I get in enough problems as it is over here.
English is not my first language so nuances get lost. Point was: I agree with your post, your point of view and I could have been more straightforward myself.

While racing experience would be nice, I think you hit the nail on the head with the lack of leadership, supervisory, management skills. This incident, and the poor way it was handled, is just the latest indication.
As even the very newest manager knows, a key rule is: compliment in public, criticize in private. Why they would even consider levying a six-digit fine without some due process and the utmost decorum is beyond me.
I can only hope the NHRA will come to their senses and rescind their penalty.
At this point maybe they can hope to work out some sort of a "agreement reached,records sealed" settlement? That way everybody saves face & only the parties that need to, really know what went on behind closed doors as it should have been from the start.
I hope you can trust me. The barrels were up stairs in the trailer. We showed them to the NHRA officals when they asked about the drums
No, perfect package, dead on the moneyLet me get this right. IF Don wants to race his, (let me count them) 5 Pro cars and a bike at the nationals and is willing to accept that he will have to win a championship to recoop the money, he can cantinue and pay the 100 large. 100 to pay, 400 to win it all. I like Tommy and Dim's math.
I am reading a book called The Ultimate Question. The premise is basically that you have promoters and detractors. They ask customers (here the car owners) one question, "Would you recommend the product or wervice to a friend or colleague". It also talks about good profits and bad profits.
I think NHRA is full of bad profits. This fine, bad profits. Lack of a serious championship points fund, bad profits. Sponsor stealing, bad profits. Poor treatment of the sportsman that pay the bills, bad profits.
Must I go on?
Line of the year, Tom Compton would be managing a McDonald's watching burgers burst into flames.
I think Don has a lot of support from his sponsors...
