Teardowns

[west coast]

I did not see any teardowns at Phoenix. But NHRA was watching heads up run of Wann and Sorenson a tech guy watching each car. Hopefullly there will be some teardowns in Belle Rose this weekend and both Vegas races coming up. There should be some fast runs at both of these races so everybody have your gaskets sets ready.

Are you saying the cars that went fast enough at the Gators to trigger the AHFS immediate horsepower did NOT get tore down?

NHRA should force a certain percentage of racers to tear down at all National events, this would bring out the true racers in the S/SS classes. That is what you are paying for with your membership and entry fee's. By NHRA not doing their job, it allows racers to slide whether their cars are legal or not. It used to be if you won the race, you had to tear down to get the purse, now it's just grab the trophy and go on your way.

Actually, that creates more problems than it solves. What if the winner in Stock or Super Stock doesn't pass??? Now you have all of the guys he put out in eliminations raising a huge stink. If they are gonna be checked, it needs to be done before eliminations. Once first round starts, the time for checking is over, with the exception of fuel, weight and visual checks at the scales.

Besides, I think the tech guys have a pretty good idea who the "shady" characters are. When I won SS in Atlanta, they asked the RU if he wanted me to tear down. Answer was no.

I think X-Tech-Man wants his old job back said he doesn't like these new young whippersnappers, lol.

NO WAY Hemi Moose would I ever do that again. I have learned how to live and have fun. The guys who do it now can have it.

That's one of the main reasons I went to Comp. Pump it, weigh it, fuel check and your done. No horsepower factors, 32 car qualified field with no break out. First man to the finish line wins. Real simple.

The biggest problem is that there are very few people left in tech that even know what to look for in a stocker. Chuck is right about being torn down in d3 if you go 1.20 under. In our division we still have Travis but he is one of one left in NHRA.
