So you would be perfectly fine having a surgeon operate on you or a family member who drank a fifth of whiskey, smoked a bag of pot, or sniffed an eight ball of coke the night before??? How about the same for the school bus driver driving your kids to school or the operators at the area nuclear plant??? If a drug or alcohol is in your system you are 100% under the influence whether you want to believe it or not. My guess is if anything ever happened to you or your family because of someone with D/A in their system you would be contacting a lawyer and filing a civil suit in a heartbeat....

"If a drug or alcohol is in your system you are 100% under the influence whether you want to believe it or not."
Bullshit if i smoked some pot on Monday it still shows up in my system on Friday. I am not high on Friday from the joint i smoked on Monday. If the surgeon isn't drunk during your operation. If he doesn't smell like whiskey how do you really know. I can smoke pot all day and not be high tomorrow. I have done it and do it. Just like the guy who drinks beer after a hard days work to relax. I prefer to smoke some pot because of the fact the effects of pot are not as hard hitting as a Bottle of whiskey. I can smoke pot all day and still walk ,talk,act normal, and wake up the next day with no effects from what i smoked the night before. If I drank all day I would not be able to walk, talk act normal, and wake up the next day without still feeling the effects of what i had drank. I quit drinking in 2006 and still smoke pot to this day. The point I am getting at is. If you're not going to test the guy who drinks beer everyday,or the day before race day unless they appear to be under the influence at the time they are at the track. You shouldn't test the guy who does other types of drugs either unless they appear to be under the influence at the time they are at the track. Just as if it were my job who only tests on this basis/ or if I have an accident. I just think it is screwed up that our society thinks alcohol... which by the way is manufactured, and is by far one of the deadliest drugs out there is acceptable. While in the other hand thinks Marijuana a natural plant, has never killed one person, and has done more good for people is so unacceptable. I have heard of alcohol poisoning, but have never heard of a marijuana poisoning or overdose.

Kendra - help us out here...do teams still get charged a membership fee to race with the WoO?
Are there published responsibilities tied to that membership?
The reason I am asking, I have witnessed fans being ejected from tracks (private property) for endangering the safety of others in various ways and I suspect this is tied to the track's liability insurance.
At some tracks, it is a violation to light a cig in the grandstand area and you are not permitted to bring "glass" into the facility, and even cameras in some cases.
Some might wonder why a fan in the stands...or local school bus driver is held to a higher standard than a sprint car driver...when we know impaired reaction times cost lives everyday at much lower speeds.
Annual track driver registration fees / published terms and conditions with periodic hair samples might clean things up.
The tracks might learn how to police themselves before an ambulance chaser gets involved...it might well be a litigation waiting to happen.

Yes. There is a fee to be a platinum member of the World of Outlaws. Those drivers sign a contract with the World of Outlaws.i believe, though, that anyone who competes with the Outlaws has to pay a "membership" to compete.

Slink is 100% right. THC stays in your fat cells up to a month, no way you are still high a month after toking.
That said, nobody ACTUALLY UNDER THE INFLUENCE should be allowed on track. How to determine that, I don't know.
TW is a special case as he has committed an incredibly stupid & dangerous stunt with the "3 state chase". Just like a parolee, he has forfeited some of his rights.
Thanks for having the balls to speak out, Slink
