I think you are on to something. Borescopes have gotten very good, very small, and very cheap. It would be quick & easy to take a look at intake runners and ports, for example.

Drain oil from pan you can scope thru the drain plug and look at crank and rods.

On my dirt motor (IMCA) we have to have site plugs on one side of our oil pan for inspection. Like the ideas mentioned above even though I do not drag race anymore. It does and will keep everyone honest.

Just started getting involved with dirt cars. The IMCA and street stocks take the top 3 after race and tech them what they wanted to see. One night it was all 4 shocks, go no go gauge in 2 barrel carb was used once, front spindles and heads have to have IMCA stamped on them. For a 200 to win they are getting checked pretty well.

Running a Limited Modified and some tracks do not look at much, others look at everything, especially in big money races we can expect to take a head off, carb inspection, suspension etc...
And they also take a coupon of our Hoosier Dirt tires and test it for doping or mysterious substances on the tires (Mainly right rear) Last edited by nickh; 03-13-2024 at 11:36 AM. |
