https://www.nhra.net/2021/nhraracer/...n_Rulebook.pdf
"Technical inspection can occur at any time before, during or after an event, at the time and in the place and manner directed by the NHRA Tech Department or any designated event official, and regardless of the technical inspection category that applies to the participant. Therefore, the participant must be prepared to demonstrate compliance with all applicable NHRA rules at any time."
Additional quote: "All determinations by event officials regarding the timing and method of technical inspection are final and are not subject to appeal or review."
While I have my own opinions on the timing and tech inspection, the NHRA officials followed the rules as set forth and distributed by email that we all receive in every national event entry information email. |
Hi Austin.. while I do understand that there is a NHRA rule pertaining to tech inspections, especially the WHEN part of that rule, I was asking racers if they were "OK" with the rule being implemented during eliminations.. I'm not "OK" with it, and I voiced my concerns for those racers that had already lost to the car with the infraction.. how do they get reinstated??.. personally, I'd take the loss and hope the racer that beat me wins the event.. AND THEN, that racer can be told to fix the problem before the next race..
I believe my questions are something for the SRAC reps to discuss with NHRA.. if such inspections were performed prior to the start of an event, as in the past, this problem would not exist, and the team may have the opportunity to make an adjustment prior to the start of the event, and pass tech..
HEY RYAN!!.. thanks for the explanation.. you have provided the rest of us with information about a potential problem, with ANY car, that we can now be aware of.. just cause we get cars from reputable chassis builders, does not mean we should take everything for granted..
