I can't get the thing loaded to go work on it fast enough, to have the time to be mad at anyone.

REALLY

4 years and tens of thousands of posts on numerous forums posted under countless screen names, spewing your insanity about how you were rob of a round win that you clearly lost because you couldn’t keep your shyt box in your lane, in the groove, resulting in you hitting a timing block and being DQ’d.

I am by no means condoning what he did here but all you internet Nazi's and goody two shoe posters better watch what you wish for. You really want NHRA to stick their nose in this and start messing with local/big money bracket races?

I sure hope all you people have all your stuff up to date, licenses. pants, jackets, gloves, etc. Chassis certifications. And oh yeah, all you guys going quicker than 4.49 better have your -15 suit and neck restraint on or some internet nazi is going to publically hang you and get the track in trouble with NHRA if they don't enforce the rules.

We all agree what he did was wrong and the track should have handled it differently but they didn't. Do you really want big brother sticking their noses in here?

EXACTLY but no one in charge is saying that. All you need at most of these big $ races is the entry fee, a helmet and jacket, that’s it!

This begs me to ask the question.

Myself and several other friends are planning to go to the Spring Fling in Vegas next year.

The last time we went I had contacted Kyle and asked if our IHRA credentials and certifications would be accepted. I was told no problem.

Until we got there...
Then because they were using NHRA tech guy's We were told we could not race unless we had NHRA license and certifications.
We went to Kyle and he eventually basically took our tech cards and let us run. He actually paid for 2 of our cars to have a NHRA sticker put on them.
I had talked to the Div director and told him I was a chassis inspector for IHRA and if he would not accept my sticker then I would load up. He pulled me aside and after a discussion he said I could run with mine.
Both NHRA and IHRA use the same SFI specs for certification so it should not have even came up.
So it looks like I will need a letter of acceptance before I load up next year to head out there. Some of the stuff NHRA requires is not the same in IHRA.

They had to move the Million to Muncie Dragway, AFTER the event opened, over tech issues once....

That led to an Alternate Sanctioning Body exclusion for promoter track rentals and such.

I assume your incident was prior to that option being available?

The migrants coming across the boarder as they are doesn't directly affect me today. Should I not have an opinion about that situation? Hell this is kind of what these forums are for. State your opinion and look at what others have to say.
