I'm by no means an old timer, but to add perspective, I'm at 1/2 times. They asked to look at my car at SGMP to look under the valve covers, check casting numbers, and the inspected my quadrajet. I wouldn't consider that a tear down, but it was the most in depth check of any kind I have experienced so far in my 1.5 years of class racing.

Quite a few, including 3 times in a little over a month
around 2010 in the Aspen Wagon.

Once, at Indy in Pro Stock. Having Jenkins as our point man eased the urge to have to change underwear.
Pretty notable, because including the usual things, JC Collins spent probably a half hour with a jeweler's loupe looking at our mid plate. Made no sense until the news about the Glidden boys came out a few days later. |

No record here. Only 1 voluntary mock teardown and a casting numbers ck at Englishtown, NJ in 1995 after winning class all alone and running just a hundreth under the 17.45 sea level index in GF/SA (they offered it and cc'd the head, as it had never been off since the assembly line build, car at that time
only had header and a converter). They did find that the intake casting # was a mid-level year factory chg in October of 84 and car was a 3rd week Dec. 84 build, but Dodge never updated their (NHRA's), guide specs to include that intake for the 84 model. It took tech 22 mins. on the phone and it was verified directly from the car build sheet data. Then they officially added to the guide officially in Feb 1996 as an accepted intake for the 99hp 135 TBI car/engine combo. Same date/ time they corrected and reduced my hp from 110 to 99 by review request letter as the only data they ever had on the single point injection TBI were all my passes. I sat out 2.5 decades before making changes, but am fully prepared and have always carried gaskets and ck tools necessary. It will happen, and it will pass. Sometimes positive things can and do happen. Begging someone to make a record attempt should not be necessary at the right event.
