    Thats awesome. Mike is a good guy and good guys do mess up sometimes. Glad to see NHRA reconsider and let him race again.

    Mike is a great guy !
    But don't be to quick to think nhra is human !
    Short car counts in t/f on the western swing.
    Probably won't have a full field.

    racing while over the limit

    I have had lots of after race partying and went late into the am ... ever wonder how much is still in your system when your making your first qualifier, in the morning just saying is all . Mike is a great guy . I dont think he even drinks ... I wonder how many racers over induldge then race the next day ?? don't shoot me

    nice to see NHRA change a ruling

    cool

    :eek:Mike and his family/team are a great bunch of people. it will be awesome to see them back out there. Funny though, seems as though if they decided they were wrong, they would lift the suspension immediately and not charge him the appeal fee. Oh well, at least he'll be able to come back.

    Well, since he was suspended for not peeing enough to make the low fluid mark on two seperate samples, NOT for having anything illegal in the sample he gave. (And all this on a very hot day at the strip.)
    But it is good to see the NHRA finally go in the right direction on this one.

    I said "almost" human. If they were stand up guys it all would have gone away.
