Fortunately we didn't need those services. The regs are a real deal wheather it's NHRA or Southland Dodge (my company). We learn to live with them. They turned out to be not so bad after all. I'm sure we will get more details on NHRA's stance soon, in real English so we know what they are after.

Jeff,
Being in the industry also we did learn to cope with all the regulations and abide by them,
It did take years to learn all the do and don't laws because they change all so frequently look what happened with the solvent issue's that has been a nightmare to keep up with, How is a racer that is not up to these standards going to keep up, Will they just be slapped with a fine because you know as well as I do if NHRA reports to the EPA that hey look we are up to standards, Like a shop the EPA will be really involved. How will NHRA educate all the racers like you as a Automotive Dealer had to do with all your employee's ? I watched that video and yes it is a general guide but how in the world can that be implemented to levy a fine. There is no list of what the fines for such infractions could be. I think they do need to implement something but they are just slapping people with a fine. How about like a shop manager would do to a employee if he catches something, No Warning Policy Here Come on give me a break....
