Re: Gator class teardowns
I did not see or hear about any teardowns. The tech guys did heavily scrutinize a pair or Kraco 6x9 speakers in the rear deck of PJ North's Old School Cutty however. That's no joke.

Re: Gator class teardowns
With all due respect, there isn't even an entry tech inspection anymore, just a random spot check at some point during qualifying. The tech department appears to have been gutted by budget cuts just like most every other aspect of the company that is representative to the sportsman racer. You actually think there is manpower to do teardown? Simply not happening. If you want to cheat and can somehow feel good about yourself or your accomplishments, now is your time...

Re: Gator class teardowns
I've already got my "no-teardown" combination. A 400 short block with an injected 305 top end, claimed as an injected 305. I figure I will be able to run it so soft that it will go 3 or 4 seasons without even needing a freshen-up. I think we've all just got to "get into" this deal, and we'll see how good it will be for us.

Re: Gator class teardowns
I wonder with the cutbacks of NHRA personnel if teardowns will only happen in the case of a dispute from a fellow racer(s) ?
