NHRA fines Anderson and Rickie Jones
Current Drag Racing
It prob is a good rule, especially with blowers and nitrous. But a 5 grand fine seems abusive. Perhaps some community service? LOL!!
But I never had fire in my face. I did have a couple fires.
One instanceI had that could have been bad was with WunderBird. When my 2" fuel gauge on rear of my intake under scoop ruptured at top end of run and fuel blew all over windshield on outside and also wicked up the inside of the Lexan and on me. Man I could not get stopped and out soon enough. Luckily no fire. There was fuel on Zoomies and bellhosing, firewall etc.
The windshield problem was due to slight gaps between the lower fasteners where Lexan was screwed to the 1/4" lower windshield frame and bowed. Al Schmitt fixed that with high temp silicone. That is something I look for when doing tech inspection. Many cars are still done that way.
