I believe MSP is protesting the turbo restrictions in HNRA. Paul lined up with the larger (illegal) turbos anyways and staged.

NHRA officials have announced that Paul Efantis, the current points
leader in the NHRA Xplōd Sport Compact Racing Series Modified Class, has been suspended for the next three events due to conduct detrimental to the sport of drag racing.

Efantis, who drives the MSP Lucas Oil Toyota Solara, has been suspended from the next three events beginning with the NHRA Las Vegas Sport Compact Nationals, Sept. 9-10, followed by the NHRA Sport Compact Fall Nationals in Englishtown, N.J. (Oct. 1-2), and the NHRA Sport Compact World Finals in Pomona, Calif. (Oct. 22-23). Upon return to competition, Efantis will be placed on one year probation commencing on the date of his first race in the NHRA Xplōd Sport Compact Racing Series. Efantis’ class lead over Justin Humphreys is 193 points.

In addition, MSP was placed on probation for one year after an incident that took place during the Mopar Mountain Madness NHRA Sport Compact Nationals held in June at Bandimere Raceway in Denver. The suspension ends June 15, 2006.

Both Efantis and MSP were sent letters informing them of NHRA’s actions and both suspensions can be appealed as outlined in the 2005 NHRA Sport Compact Rulebook

Yes were are done with NHRA they deffinetly wont let the modified class be what it should be .. If you look at class advancement over the last four years we have followed right with pro keeping about the same distance. I wish NHRA spent a week at my shop and could see that 90% of all supras on the street run bigger than a 66mm single or 52mm twins. Keeping things tight and sending a class back 5 years is two different stories I and Justin Tested these 52mm turbos and nearly spent 6000.000 dollars a peice on turbos piping , testing etc and only to find that the will only produce 27 lbs of boost WOW we were down 22mph in the 1/8th and ran 7.90 @175 BORING . Like I said I didnt build this car to run 7.90s when I built my car the record was 7.66 who wants to spend 100,000.00 to run slower than the record the year before NOT I . So in the end NHRA dose not give two shits about it and Me and Justin have already wraped up 1st and 2nd so were siting out NHRA the rest of the Year. I do encurage anyone to build a modified car it is by far one of the best classes out there and everthing that I or Justin have is avalible to anyone else also the class should run between 7.10 to 7.30 NOPI dose plan on leaving the rules alone for a while to encurage people to build a car to come out and Kick Mine , Justin , or Brents ass . It deffinetly can be done with the right chassis and any power plant on the market right Now would be capible of being competive If u have the will and desire to go FAST and Thats what we have been so sevely punished for!!
