sounds like it's actively trying to nickel and dime you to death...
Not trying- DOING!
I like a challenge but I gots a limit where it moves past entertainment value.
And the radio started right after I did a real nice install of an XM adapter unit for Race season:(
i heard that
Nope...MrsSgtBob wants to drop the top, and leave the doors of the Jeep at the hotel...go drive the beach.
She could hang on for a cross-country back in ‘81...not so much anymore. That said, I doubt I could non-stop to Sturgis anymore.
That’s a bummer. I see people getting engine repair estimates and scrapping the vehicles at a shop I visit
LOL! Gettin’ closer and closer.
However ammo is spendy.
Late Tuesday morning, February 4, NASCAR Executive Vice President of Racing Operations, Steve O'Donnell and NASCAR Vice President of Competition and Racing Development Robin Pemberton are scheduled to make an announcement outlining updates to NASCARs penalty and appeal processes.(2-4-2014)
NASCAR Penalty News
Enhancements To NASCAR Penalty Structure, Appeals Process Announced: As part of its wide-ranging initiatives to transform its competition model, NASCAR today announced enhancements to its penalty structure and appeals process beginning this season. In addition to these changes, NASCAR also announced the appointment of a Final Appeals Officer for the sport.
“NASCAR’s Deterrence System is designed to help maintain the integrity and competitive balance of our sport while sending a clear message that rules violations will not be tolerated,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president of racing operations. “This is a more transparent and effective model that specifically spells out that ‘X’ infraction equals ‘X’ penalty for technical infractions. At the same time, we believe the Appeals process allows a fair opportunity for our NASCAR Members to be heard, and have penalty disputes resolved by an impartial, relevant group of people with the ability to handle the complexities inherent in any appeal. This system has been tailored specifically to fit the needs of our sport.”
Bryan Moss, former president at Gulfstream Aerospace, has been selected as the Final Appeals Officer. Moss will hear matters on appeal from the lower three-member Appeals Panel, and serve as the last decision on penalty disputes for the sport.
NASCAR’s Deterrence System NASCAR’s Deterrence System is easily understood and specifically lays out exactly what disciplinary action will be taken depending on the type of technical infraction listed from warnings to six penalty levels in ascending order. Some of the Deterrence System elements include:
The system starts with warnings (W) issued for very minor infractions, then are grouped into six levels - P1 (least significant) to P6 (most significant).
Lower P levels list penalty options from which NASCAR may select (fines or points) while higher P levels are an all-inclusive combination of multiple penalty elements (points and fine and suspension, etc.).
At the highest three levels of the system, if a rules infraction is discovered in post-race inspection, the one or more additional penalty elements are added on top of the standard prescribed penalty.
Repeat offenses by the same car are addressed via a “recurrence multiplier,” i.e. if a P4 penalty was received and a second P4 or higher infraction occurs in the same season, the subsequent penalty increases 50% above the normal standard.
Suspensions are explained in greater detail.
Behavioral infractions are still handled on case-by-case basis and are not built into the W, P1-P6 structure.
The 2014 Rule Book will explain how and why NASCAR issues penalties as well as the factors considered when determining a penalty. The Rule Book also will detail the types of infractions that fall within each level by citing examples that are included but not limited to:
· Warnings are issued instead of penalties for certain types of minor, first-time infractions.
· P1 penalties may result from multiple warnings to the same team.
· P2 penalties may include but are not limited to violations such as hollow components, expiration of certain safety certification or improper installation of a safety feature, or minor bracket and fasteners violations.
· P3 penalty options may include but are not limited to violations such as unauthorized parts, measurement failures, parts that fail their intended use, or coil spring violation.
· P4 level infractions may include but are not limited to violations such as devices that circumvent NASCAR templates and measuring equipment, or unapproved added weight .
· P5 level may include but are not limited to violations such as combustion-enhancing additives in the oil, oil filter, air filter element or devices, systems, omissions, etc., that affect the normal airflow over the body.
· P6 level may include but are not limited to violations such as affecting the internal workings and performance of the engine, modifying the pre-certified chassis, traction control or affecting EFI or the ECU.
The National Motorsports Appeals Panel The new Appeals process continues to provide two tiers for resolving disputes. On the first level before a three-member Appeals Panel, NASCAR has the burden of showing that a penalty violation has occurred. On the second and final level, only a NASCAR Member is allowed to appeal and they have the burden of showing the Final Appeals Officer that the panel decision was incorrect.
Some other Appeals changes include:
Clearly identifying the procedural rights of NASCAR Members
Detailing responsibilities of parties throughout the process
Allowing parties the option to submit summaries on issues before the Appeals Panel
Allowing NASCAR Members named in the penalty to be present during the entire hearing
Appeals Administrator is not allowed to be present during panel deliberations
Creating a clear Expedited Appeals Procedure when necessary
Changing the name of the Appeals Panel to The National Motorsports Appeals Panel

Look, Look They gave Us shiny pictures so as to DAZZLE Us with their “brilliance”!!!
Jimmie Johnson was live on a feed from Charlotte on our local Fox station this am doing a promo for Daytona.
He looks rested and ready.
I will ping shortly. Hope all is going well with your vehicle repairs. Was going to share my electrical problem story.
I have a 1995 Buick Regal. I love it. Buick makes a nice car for tall people.
I had an electrical/security problem. It would do things like turn off when I was driving down the road, turn the engine off, headlights off, and all of the interior lights would flash. I would have to coast off of the road, wait for it to “reset” and start up again.
It would not start many times, all of the interior lights would flash when I would try to start the car; sit and wait for it to “reset.”
It would act like it had a dead battery sometimes. Turn the key and get that dreaded click, click, click. One time I had security at work come to help me do a jump start, but I tried one more time and the car turned over like nothing at all was wrong.
I took it into a Chevy dealer repair shop. Couple of days later: oh yeah, we fixed it. We drove it off of the lot and it died. After we got it restarted, turned it around: oh no you didn’t.
Manager took the car for a drive - he was gone quite awhile. After getting back: we didn’t fix it.
They finally got it working without as many problems, but still not fixed.
So I took it the competing Chevy dealer. They found a crack in some electrical line that caused the security system to short out when it got wet (or other random times, water couldn’t always be a contributor).
No problems since. Except if I try to use the hazard lights, then I lose interior and turn lights for a few days.
· P5 level may include but are not limited to violations such as combustion-enhancing additives in the oil, oil filter, air filter element or devices, doping the oil... THAT is creativity of the first magnitude!
now i want to know who got caught, and what were they using,,,
if there's three things i hate, it's electrical problems...
Mikey Waltrip Racing at Daytona 500 a few years ago had a “Fuel issue” IIRC 2011
As far as oil I’d put money on the 48 team.
