Due to the observed and witnessed dangerous behavior this weekend. The Court is forced to dig deep into the history of racing rules and guides to safely operating a racing vehicle of any sort. This was probably chiseled into stone tablets around the dirt tracks of the Roman chariot races. You can almost imagine the scene of the other chariot drivers in the pits gesturing among themselves " did you see what that idiot was doing?" Although the court is not suggesting that the preferred punishment of the time( flogging and becoming part of the safety wall at the outside of the track) be reestablished at this time. But in the interest of the racers and public safety I think this issue needs to be addressed.
#9 OSNH minor "opetati Sunt Nefas Habetur" Latin translation " Levers operated wrongly"
Middle of the hot day before the race. Driver of the #9 kart decides to go to the local Minimart for drinks and ice. Fellow driver tags along for his refreshments. The establishment is well stocked with a plethora of choices. Drinks and ice are purchased, a quick sugar fix is enjoyed inside of the oh so cool store. On the trip back to the track in the personal vehicle of the #9 karts driver a weird ,alarming sound and vibration was observed. Both the driver and passenger listen with worried looks on their faces. The resulting dialogue involves the discussion of our wife's and their habit of not noticing anything wrong until parts fly off or come to a grinding smoking halt. Then with a pensive and slightly worried look on his face the diver of the vehicle stabs quickly with his foot at the floor mounted emergency brake LEVER. After releasing the emergency brake all noise and vibration come to a complete stop.
A previous court decision against the driver of the #19 kart for a similar violation resulted in an unjust verdict of GUILTY
First scheduled practice of the official race day for the World Formulas. All of the racers go zooming out onto the track. Bobbing and weaving like the F1 racers we all pretend to be. Nobody really notices that the #9 kart is slowly retreating to the back of the pack and soon disappears from everyone's sight. Later is seen parked in his pit spot looking wildly around his kart. When asked later what was wrong he nervously answered " just a tuning issue". Later NFRA investigation reveals that after working on his own carburetor and test running the motor. The choke LEVER was left at a halfway position. This resulted in the motor only able to attain RPMs of about 12
