Alan Johnson disqulified from NHRA event..
And how many accidents do they cause??
I agree with you that a .027 is really a non issue. What's a hit of nyquil rate on the breathalyzer?
If he had 11 hours to take the test, then what's the difference. His base burn rate would have had the recorded amount gone in under 2 hours. Foolish on his part to not take advantage of the deadline time for testing, especially if you hoist a few.
Another part of stupidity in this... if he waits until the deadline to test, he can drive the car in qualifying, in violation of the "zero tolerance" policy. Essentially he can be still legally drunk, pilot the car, wait until later to test and pass. That in itself tells me the policy is nothing but a PR stunt for the nhra... we're tough on (insert issue).
