There was also a instance of another 4 cylinder car in comp that had a adapter fail. So maybe they have decided to check real hard, hope they were not picking on you. and remember there are many things that sometimes do not make sense but you have to decide if you want to live by their rules or not.

That's whats crazy though. I did everything they asked me to do. I went and got my can converted from 6.1 to 6.3 and updated the cert. Same with the clutch and flywheel. This all started on Tues and ended on Friday. I never once filled out and handed them a tech card. I never told them I was ready to be tech'd in, nor did they tell me that they were teching me in. It's all really fishy to me.
I'm all about safety, and had EVERY safety item needed to run the ET/MPH that my car runs. I had no problem doing everything they told me I had to do in that 3 day span (and the tech guy literally told me these were the 3 things I needed to do so I could race). I have no problem following rules either, but as posted above, everyone should be held to the same standard if they are going to enforce such a rule, and clearly they aren't.
Also, rules need to evolve a bit. I'm going to be speaking with someone about this, because I feel this particular rule needs to be revised.
Any suggestions from some of you guys that have been through this? Who would be the best person to talk too, etc.??
Thanks for all the support, it's actually quite overwhelming. All the messages, facebook posts and messages, visits by the pits, it's all much appreciated.
