National Event Sportsman Teardown Announcement

Moving forward, the NHRA Technical Services Department would like to remind all Sportsman Racers (i.e. Pro Mod, Top Alcohol Dragster, Top Alcohol Funny Car, Competition Eliminator, Factory Stock Showdown, Stock Eliminator and Super Stock) to be prepared for teardown when attending an NHRA National Event. All racers should bring any and all necessary tools and/or equipment, as well as any and all necessary parts and components (including but not limited to gaskets) to complete a full teardown and reassembly prior to further competition. Thank you in advance and we look forward to seeing each and every one of you at a future NHRA National Event.

NHRA SHOULD setup a reserved Seting grand stand at the tear down barn it could be more interesting than the racing?

Seems like they could tear down the 2 fastest guys from each class in qualifying. Then anyone that goes .90 under in a heads up race.

Sounds like some one was ask to be torn down recently at a national event and wasn't prepared. See what happens this weekend.

I am happy to see this come back around. Please do more than 1 a year as well. Good job NHRA!

I agree on this and should happen more often, BUT if NHRA wants to see a crank, PLEASE supply the Guy or Gal and engine picker, it is INDY and it is there garage and track, they should keep one or 2 there. hope this will keep people honest, LOL Good Luck.

Comp is allowed any internal Modifications,as is Top alcohol. If I set a record they pump the engine and check for illegal equipment and done. If NHRA wants to pull a Piston in my DOHC Comp car they are going to have a fight on their hands.
