Driver of the #87-GVI, returning to the pits after practice wondering why his motor won't go over 5K. Driving around with yer choke on will do that to ya. 
Driver of the #81-GVI AND WED, said driver was witnessed driving around with some screws, errrrr, bolts loose (as well as actually missing one) resulting in mass ejection of lubrication fluids. Current EPA estimates gage the release in front of the scales at between 3 and 4 gallons. How much was left on the track even the experts can't begin to estimate. However, give the coating on the nose of the 87, a conservative estimate would be in the neighborhood of 6 to 8 gallons.
Driver of #18-GVI, while there IS an old racing adage that 8 tires give you more grip than 4, it's pretty certain that 3 tires give you less grip than 4.
Driver of the #42-GVI, while showing the grace of a gazelle on the hot grid, the driver of the 42 managed to trip over his throttle cable. Not only did the the cable boot rip, the slide itself got jammed into a position that wouldn't allow his motor to start resulting in missing practice.
Driver of the #61-CLSH, not until after several days after the race was this video evidence (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v-f7XXUkeo) provided to document the activities of the #61 driver. Not exactly sure what is going on here but an observer might reasonably arrive at this conclusion. The driver and his neck brace got into a little "tiff". The brace was trying to be supportive and tried to give the driver a little good luck kiss. But the driver, with his race face on, ready to duke it out with the best drivers the NFRA has to offer, wanted none of it. The brace got pissed (we've all been there, right?) and said FU and ran away from the driver. The driver storms off leaving his brace but can't quite manage to not look back to see if the brace was following him (or at least looking his way). But no, the brace is now in serious huff and will not move from that spot. The driver goes sulking around but finally cools down and realizes he really does need his brace. After going completely around the hot grid fence he finally arrives back at his brace to make up.
Driver of the #19-ARM, while leading the main event the driver of the #19 spun HIMSELF out resulting in going a lap down. The driver has already admitted guilt and will be assessed the maximum fine allowed under the Kangaroo Court.
Just a reminder, the Kangaroo Court is just for fun. Participation is entirely voluntary. All fines assessed go towards end of year trophies and/or banquet. The rollover balance of the account is $19 and is in the possession of Brad42.
