During my first call to nhra, on the issue of notches, Pat said that he had participated in a conference call with the srac about this problem. Jeff Teuton should be able to share info on the conference call.

Pat said the letters for correction were a bit premature and for me to sit tight until they got things in order. I asked about posting this information and he asked me not to post until they had it straightened out. I told a friend about this conversation with Pat and he told me not to trust anything Pat said. I thought this seems simple enough to straighten out so I waited. Then the second letter arrived stating that the notches must be repaired by 8-28-13 and I called Pat again and found a much different guy on the phone this time. He was spouting off about wheelie bars and then could not offer any remedies for our concerns. I concluded that he needed to get out to the race track more often. And I now understand that there are folks who are working on getting this problem corrected. We'll wait and see.
