After the racer is done racing, he goes back to the Tech trailer and gets HIS box back. Check your serial #.

If I spend $700 on an ignition, what happens after NHRA's box fails in my car at that race? Geez, the NHRA box could cost a racer a final round win, not to mention time lost chasing the problem. Sounds like socialism.
The seat belt thing has always been ridiculous. You can bet the belt makers will be against extending their life. They must love NHRA!
I have a street car that's quick enough for a roll bar, and thusly, belts. I don't mind the roll bar, but I don't even take it to the track every two years! How many cars never get to the track, and how many of them, as a result, aren't racing every weekend?
