now as being part of a flegeling outlaw track, tech is important, we are abiding with the nhra book as much as we can,i have already had the discussion about my car as i dont have a true bar and its a convertable no under 13.5 pass, the second that it happens i will be advised to either put a block under the pedal or no race.
i agree with this completly and also participate in the tech inspections, the guys that racew all the time at nhra tracks have all the bases covered as they have been through it, the ones to watch for are the guy who dust off the old hot rod from the back yard. some are pretty good others need work and we have turned guys away and encourage some to come as early for tech as if its a minor thing we send them home to fix it and tell them to get their butts back and if they pass well get them in the line.
try to be nice to the guys if you have to fail them and try to help give them advice to get the car in shape to pass.
