No Tech At US Nationals?

BBF67 · 06-12-2017, 02:27 PM

A look at the schedule for the US Nationals does not show any tech, only racer registration.

Could that also mean no teardown for Stock and S/S?

The word on the streets is the US NATIONALS IS THE WORST PLACE TO BRING YOUR BOGUS STUFF.

I would like to see somebody lay down a pass the scales run again though..
Ok, after that sarcasm....

No, don't bring your illegal stuff to Indy.

Just a guess, but could pre-race tech be taking place during the times that registration is open on Tue, Wed & Thu? Including tech in the lanes, which I have seen at various events.

Just being curious. Was there tech at the Norwalk nationals? Is it tech as we have always known or did you just fill out your tech card and turn it in at registration? Inquiring minds want to know.

SS at Norwalk: Filled out Tech card and went thru registration. As we were lined up for Q1, several Tech officials started at the head of the lanes and checked every entry. One guy checked helmets, belts and suits while another looked under hoods.

They spot checked things at the Gatornationals. They were sealing carbs in the lanes on Q1 Then they checked my gloves at the scale after class round 1. No pre race tech as we had for years.

There isn't any tech at National events.

In my opinion, spot checks are better than organized pre-event inspection.

How many of us have known people with a "tech" version of one or more safety items, and then the "race" version that goes in the car for the rest of the weekend? I know I've seen it before.

The same could certainly apply to performance-related items.
