Disappointing to see fewer races with Class Eliminations. Just as disappointing to me is seeing all the fuss about going through a tear down. Yes, it’s a BIG pain, always has been. A Class racer needs to have the ability to do treardown. With my generation it wasn’t so much about if you were selected for a tear down but how many times you got picked for it. Successful tech inspection is an achievement, for many it was a badge of honor. I remember one of the Hemi racers even boasting about getting the head off his before anyone else. We are unique, this is Class racing, it's what we signed up for. It gives us a level of credibility that others don't have.
