I have suggested to NHRA that perhaps they just need to add enforcement at the end of the race, and inspect the winning car post race, besides the usual safety check for everone that we go through now.

Just add the policy that all winners undergo technical inpection. Leave it open to what that means, driveshaft check, carb check , cam check who knows?. The policy might weed out illegal stuff through out the system by requiring "if you get a check, you will be clean". I would rather pull my car down if I had to at the end of a race and put it back together at home. Not a big deal if I took home a check.


By the way,

Have a great holiday too you guys!

They used to do just that. We won two national events in two weeks and came apart both times post race. It was the way they did things they were not picking on us.
We were surprized they did not take us apart after the world finals.
In 73 (I believe) both winner and runnerup were tossed at the E'town national event. There was no winner.
