Question Tech Officials Qualifications?

I have a serious question. What exactly does it take to become a certified NHRA tech official? Are there tests that must be taken? Are there certain qualifications? What exactly does it take? Also, after you are certified as a tech official, what ongoing training or classes (CEU's) must be taken? Is there an official NHRA school for their tech officials?

All of us who have been around for a while pretty much know which tech officials know their jobs. However there seems to be quite a few "loose cannons" out there who make things up when they don't know the answer which makes things more complicated for all racers and other tech officials. It seems to me that if there were a central technical informational resource site that all tech officials could call or go to, it might reduce the amount of problems encountered in tech. Jim
