indy tech fiasco's

Jack was there racing and what he observed was the truth. Mr. Flying W was NOT there (at least he was not racing) and does not really know what happened. We have very competent tech men, but when they are not allowed to do their job by the head of the tech dept., their hands are tied.

I never said anything about not having competant officials... What I said was that at the end of the day, the ruling of the NHRA is what stands no matter what the opinion is of the local divisional tech officals.

You are correct in saying that I was not there, due to recovering illness however you are incorrect to say that I do not know what was going on in the particular instance with Doug Patrick, I was on the phone with him while it was taking place.

My whole point is that NHRA tech officials govern their races the way they see fit, and divisional tech officials govern theirs how they see fit and if you are racing at a NHRA governed event and the rules dont happen to go your way, dont use the excuse that it is a division track and they need to be able to run it... this stops the "good ole boys" in every division. Just accept it and move on...
