Re: Tech Inspections / tear down 2018
If you get torn down, do competitors & other engine builders get to look at your stuff?
Back when I was younger, somewhat fast at times, setting records & getting protested (had brown hair, and all of it then) Red Anderson did not let anybody not directly involved with my car watch. Carroll Caudle did my machine work. I set the record at Houma, LA a couple of times. Once, red ran Carroll off when he was getting ready to look at mine. He ran other racers off about every time I tore down. Friend of mine (James Lee) that helped me tear it down had to stay away while he inspected it. Carroll wanted to verify he was measuring everything the same way Red did. I think Red was thinking Carroll was wanting to find a way to slip something past him. That was not Carroll's way. LOL I don't feel like other builders or racers should see inside my stuff. Why allow it?
