[FireSale]

Because of tech inspections at my local tracks my car is safer and, because I know it's weight, easier to class.

I can understand a once per season master tech - not a full ETI - in which the safety gear and chassis stuff like shields and u joint loop are checked and a sticker issued. That would speed things up, but I still like the responsibility the racer has of showing up at tech and explaining any new stuff.

When I drove my parents Mustang to Milan Dragway for a Sunday in the mid 60's Cliff the tech guy put the pure stocker on a ramp and checked under the hood and in the trunk. At the time I was the "staff photographer" taking a day off. Everyone treated the same.
