My thoughts exactly

I had the opportunity to do this at Pomona. Fill out your tech card and take it to the credential trailer. Was it a big deal? I don't think so.

Is there a minimum grade point to be selected? I would hope there would be something in place that would keep a new car or a new racer from being able to race without teching car.

My guess is that it's to cut back on personnel on the day or days before the race starts?

I agree accept if they need to pay someone to tech a new guy while others don't tech I assume he will just be getting paid to stand around?

Most National events require 3 or 4 grade points to enter now it seems so unless the driver is bringing a different car he has already been through tech several times recently.
I don't agree that this is where NHRA should be looking to cut cost but most bean counters start this way.....

With all these cut backs, I can see them eliminating heads up and any pairings. I hope I'm wrong, but this looks like the end might be sooner than we think for S/SS class as we know it. No tech and random pairing, sounds bad to me

Maybe it's Time for a Change ?

Alan, I am not going. My company employee party is the Sat. night and last time we went we saw yall and had to cut it a day short because of weather, so we aren't going. Wish I was. I really enjoy PRI. Have fun and have one (or two) for me.

I didn't understand the "no tech" answer, just the general check in when you arrive? also what does "rig stacking" mean? I'm new to this
