Fuel Keep, Ice for heads and any other tips ?

[Jack McCarthy]

drooze...ive never commented on a thread of yours, however this one i will. as a seasoned veteran of teardowns (class wins, and records) i will offer this advice :

1. make sure your stuff will pass at home in your barn... much better there than when it counts.
2. be prepared, have all stuff you need at hand, including new gaskets, timing light, etc... look like you intend to pass.
3. be polite, and ask questions whenever you need to including why / how it was checked you might learn something as to what they are looking for.
4. if something fails to check ask for one recheck, then if another tech guy is attending ask for a different guy to check ("with all due respect would it be ok if travis rechecks one more time please").
5. dont piss the tech guy off, likely hes as unhappy as you are, its late he would rather be at the hotel - he will find something to toss you for.
6. most tech guys are ok if you bring a cooler, beer is almost always ok you might need one... offer the tech guys a soda (or a beer especially when you pass).

good luck, dont worry they want you to pass (refer to rule 5)...
