Do you believe that the NHRA techs are doing their job?

See how everyhting gets convoluted.
In the Marines they called that a 'Cluster - - - -'

Bobby Z.
'Correcto-Mundo',, just because it slid by the techs at one race,
it doesn't make it right.
Techs are like NFL Lineman Refs.
Each one has their own understanding of 'offensive holding'.

Are they doing their job? Can anyone really evaluate them.
It was simpler for them back in the 60's.
Just as many cars, but less classes.. Easier to check.
Entrance fee's were a 'mere pitance'.
How can you look a racer in the eye today, with all the money he spends on a competitive car, the tow rig, travelling expenses and crazy entrance fee, and DQ him for some no-nothing item or minor infraction.
I couldn't do it, and I'm sure the current tech force can't.
