Jeremy -

You keep trying to smoke the issue into something it is not and something that is totally different than what Jack is saying. I agree with Jack that the fair and unbiased quality of tech decisions (whether at Divisional and National events) is something that is of utmost importance in this sport. The conduct of the officials should be irreproachable and there should not be any shadow of sidestepping the letter of the rules in their decisions. Any time that there are questions about the conduct of a tech person or crew or office, these questions need to be addressed and answered. That is not to say that every racer has the authority to be a judge or that every gripe has equal weight and importance. But, to assume that we pay no attention to the tech process or that the decisions handed down should be accepted without scrutiny will create an environment that allows corruption to sneak in too easily. Integrity in tech decisions in stock and super stock is a core value that must be fought for or else the categories will disappear.
