Do you believe that the NHRA techs are doing their job?

I guess I have to explain in more detail for those who cannot understand short form conversation.

When I said NHRA techs, I mean all that the represent, seeing as they are the biggest presence we rely on to represent those slackers in Cali. By the way if their pay is reflective of their interest or capability of doing their job, than they are right on pace. If they feel they are underpaid and this is a direct result of the lack of attention being paid to the cars in Stock and Super Stock, then ask for more money, God knows at an average of $500/entry with crew at a minimum and 400 sportsman cars/ race in a National Event they should be able to afford them a raise. I agree, safety first; however legality second.

For the people that do not believe that the correct accents on your vehicle should not be a huge concern (ie. hoods, tail lights, decals FRAMES), four words, Go Run Super Street.

If you do not want to put the pride an passion into knowing your car is a true Stock or Super Stocker; however want no electronics racing, I suggest you go run No Box in the IHRA, they need the car counts.

I heard of people getting torn down and DQed at every kind of event, not just Nationals or Class events. Now its almost only at INDY, wow 30 cars out of 3000 active members.

When I spoke of the rise and fall of the economy, I was saying it as a generalization of all the fluctuations in economic times since the begining of this sport.

One last comment. I also believe, unless your car is broken, and you can prove it, then running to a 1000' should be a DQ. It wasn't allowed back in the day and it shouldn't be encouraged or tolerated.
