Default Re: Nhra blues!!

I've built quite a few cars and have never had one fail chassis cert. For the most part the tubing dia. and wall thickness are the only real issues. Having a bar 1/16 of an inch misplaced is NOT a reason to fail a car. I've watched many times as other cars have been tagged and looking at the welds and fitment I couldn't believe they passed, being sure I could knock half the bars out of most with a hammer. I agree that you should run it through again just with a different inspector, his opinion of the IHRA and it's tech people should not affect his decision. And if it does he should be professional enough to keep it to himself. Joe
