Half of the "IHRA tech man " posts usually come out something like that!

Re: 1.20+ run Vegas divisional
 

If you run 1.20 or better and do not get certified isn't very smart. The old crew at least knew how to do their jobs.....Not anymore today !

Re: 1.20+ run Vegas divisional
 

Terry, I think that you'll find that the new crew is being told not "to do their jobs".
I would love to see just how many hours the average Tech is allotted (or paid for) to do his job on a day-to-day basis.

Re: 1.20+ run Vegas divisional
 

I agree with Billy on this. The issue is not the tech people. To insult them is out of line.

Re: 1.20+ run Vegas divisional
 

I think the tech department is doing a fine job, at Indy they tore down about 10 cars and had found more than a few to have issues that disqualified them. They also were pulling carbs and throttle bodies of almost half the field. At Maple Grove they tore down the 1.20 under car and had him in the barn all day then they went through about 6 Comp Cars too checking various things.
ALL the classes require policing and there are fewer tech people so they do have their hands full but overall they are a busy bunch of guys.
Stop the glory days stuff.

The video of Jim in the pits is very cool. Looks like Jim is just a good ole' boy that can kick butt in NHRA competition.

I believe he threw down the gauntlet saying no K/SA car in the country can run with him.

Atta boy Jim. You make it seem easy. 81 - and still having fun.
