Division 3 Tech

With all the recent bashing of the NHRA, some justified some not, I felt compelled to write a positive note. At the recent NHRA Division 3 race we set the E/SA record. This of course involved a full tear down. This was done outside at the tech trailer. In the middle of it all it started to rain. The tech guys found a Pop Up canopy and put it up over the front of the car to keep myself and my wife dry as well as the car. They also set up a table for me put tools and parts on. Even got me towels. The tech portion, while always stressful, was done in an absolute professional manner and any and all questions/concerns I had were answered swiftly and politely. They used my checking lifters and found them to be a few thou shorter than the lifters in the car and went to the trouble of taking them apart and shimming them to be correct before doing valve lift. After it passed they even helped me put the intake back on as I was starting to suck wind by then. In conclusion I would like to extend a very sincere thank you to Travis and the whole Division 3 crew for making this as pleasurable an experience as one of these things can be. Especially since I was the only knucklehead there to set a record and make them do a tear down on a cold, rainy, crappy Friday afternoon/evening.
