Default Re: Tech Inspection stories?

2009 brand new John Holt SS/AH car. New driver needing a grade point so I went to the Div.4 Ennis, Tx. Big Joe (RIP), Lil' Joe and Tim Hebert were there and knew I was an NHRA rookie. Took me to tech with them. They knew Wesley, I did not. Their Hemi cars went right thru, my turn. Wes went over the car for 30 minutes, had a magnet on wheel wells etc. "Sir, pull this car over here." Out of line I went. Lil' Joe gave me a shoulder schrug and they went to paddock. It seemed like hours, teams of guys with ring binders, pointing, touching, talking. FINALLY Wesley walked over and said "Son, that is how you build a Hemi car". He used it for class with the other techs. So first time down the track, #2 qualifier in all of SS. Nuttin' to it. Just pee on the cash register. Phish
