Okay I'm not new to racing having raced a SST and SG car at divisional and National events. Now I'm building a new stock eliminator car and hope to complete it this year.
I knew NHRA could take your parts and hold them but is there a time period? Do they keep them forever and what's the point? Do they plan on selling them some day and keep the money (That should be a conflict of interest)
I spent a lot of money building my new car from scratch and I have used resources and suppliers from all over the country. I know the specs for my combo but what if I overlook something that I paid a well know builder / supplier for such as the carb, If it fails tech do they confiscate my expensive carb or do they just DQ me and say get it fixed or replaced? Can I ask for a thorough tech inspection before ever going down the track based on it's a new car? I would think if any problems came up I could withdraw and take it home and not give up expensive parts. (And it is a Ford)
