FEEDBACK ARTICLE - JERRY ECKMAN IS READY TO TALK

I would say, give the man a chance. As far as I can recall both Ford and Dodge teams were suspected to race with nitrous, however no investigations nor penalties have been laid on these teams. Or was it just to keep the brand diversity in the class? And since Mr. Eckman was not the main driver for GM, it was just the perfect 'scapegoat' as he calls it, for the NHRA for its image towards the public.

I would like to hear some commentary from the NHRA about these incidents. - Rignald Martis, Aruba

No Ford or Dodge team was ever officially caught or sanctioned for the use of nitrous oxide.  Eckman wasn’t a scapegoat, he was merely the registered driver of the car whose oil tank exploded because of the insertion of a nitrous bottle.  NHRA did all the commenting they’re going to make after the incident, when they reported their scientific proof that nitrous had been involved with the explosion. –  Ed.
