Re: Gator class teardowns
Started a long post and realised I was parroting what fordteacherguy said.
So, to recap; 1) ALL WINNERS UNDERGO TECHNICAL INSPECTION 2) "what happens if they don't pass?" rule changes 3) I would rather tear my car down at the end of the race and load it up and put it together at home I think nhra has thrown up their hands and won't do tear downs unless another racer protests. The benefit for nhra is bare minimal cost to tech, no cost to police the class. Basically show up with your cars to run your little race during our race weekend with your own tech or whatever it is you class guys do. Don't bother us, just feed us $$ for using the track. I remember seeing clippings of old nhra races (50-60's) where the winner was deemed illegal and lost the trophy so it wouldn't be the first time this has been done. Sliding more towards the "factory appearing" racing then tight ruled class racing..... |
Re: Gator class teardowns
Most people here seem to be concerned with tech infractions of a mechanical nature involving performance and I agree that this could be an issue, but the electronic "cheating" is my biggest worry. Mostly a Super Stock problem. We could easily have a dozen (or multiples of) already among us. No tech - no risk of getting caught. I would consider paying an extra fee to police this even though we should not have to.

Re: Gator class teardowns
An extra fee, what a novel thought, nhra doesn't bleed enough from racers so now you're volunteering money?
I got an idea, how about they use some of the membership fee's to pay for tech? I think most would gladly give up the other perks (magazine subscription, etc) Lol! Edit: while you're at it, might as well throw some $$ their way to pay for allowing S/SS on the track during their races. (oh wait, that's supposed to be called entry fee isn't it?) |
Re: Gator class teardowns
You want tears downs? They don't even tech cars ..lol They don't even do piston and rods at INDY ! Ship has sailed but I will keep going

Re: Gator class teardowns
You would think since the new car manufacturers have jumped back in to S/SS spending millions of dollars, they would have discussed this with NHRA making sure that everybody was following the rules. But maybe not...

Re: Gator class teardowns
I was told by an NHRA official last year that all 1.20 or more under runs would result in a teardown. My reply was that I thought it was a great idea.............
