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.

One of two, but I don't think Wesley is travelling to races any more.

I'm half way there. I weigh, fuel check. Then they pump me (total of 30 minutes start to finish) then check wheel base, and overhang. And we are done.
