Re: National event chaos?
I think some of you may be misunderstanding the "no tech".
As Jody Lang stated earlier in this thread. I also received an email before the fall vegas race and the finals stating that I had the option to participate in a trial program where I was able to go directly to the credential trailer with my tech card. It further stated that spot checks (I assumed for belt expiration etc) would be conducted during qualifying. I don't believe the program is meant to eliminate tech but to speed the tech in process up. I assume and hope performance oriented tech will continue, at least at the current level. I am not happy about the prospect of random pairing however, certainly not the no stacking., as that is a big part of my social life. |

Re: National event chaos?
What's the mindset behind that idea?

Cutting costs. They're probably about to lay off some event support staff. No tech, no qualifying, and no stacking means less staff to pay. Of course, those people make a mere pittance to begin with, and do it for the love of the sport and the racers. They're not where NHRA spends money anyway. But bean counters see them as unnecessary.
