I date back to the '60s and winner inspections were a regular weekend ritual at Milan. You might want to teardown repeat winners, but not every winner. Inspection, yes, teardown, maybe.

A lot can be checked without pulling the engine apart. Cam lift and compression are heads on check items. So are intake and carb mods. That level of inspection would help a lot and not leave a car in a pile of parts.

BTW I can't find post race inspections as a rule requirement.

This is a Stock thread, but an issue I have with SS is FWD conversion cars running in a "street car based" class. Maybe require GT cars to use an engine available for the body used without regards to the model year. 68 Camero with any year Camero engine. 70 Mustang with any year Mustang engine. Cobalt with any year Cobalt engine...Or just move FWD conversion cars to Comp. They are more like an Altered anyway after all the tube chassis work.

As far as towing to the lanes. I think the fair rule would be that the car that is pitted the farthest away should be allowed to tow to there opponents pit and both cars need to be driven to the lanes from there. Then there is no advantage to the person with the up-close pit spot.

With live feeds displaying RTs could this be radioed to driver?

Should sportsman classes have radios?

Harry is a great guy and we are lucky to have him in our division. I happened to see a post on facebook and saw his birthday and year and I was quite surprised to see what his age is. I can only hope that I would be in as good of shape and health when I reach his age. I can tell you I don't have the energy that I had at 30.
We are also lucky to have Dave Ley and his wife Gloria at our races at the beginning and end of our season. They are a great addition to the D2 team when they are down here

I like that, good idea

Factory throttle body flows right at 750 CFM on my flow bench. Not many 350"s need more than that. Maybe I'm not making enough power to need more.

No electric shifters unless the car originally came with an electronic TRANSMISSION.

Since so many cars were available without radios, I would say no.
