Start tearing some of those things down and watch them slow down.

I retired almost 8 (EIGHT)years ago from my job and the thankless rat race of tech. I tried to inspect at least 5 cars at each national event but there was not always TIME. Same as NHRA. Most of the time it was just me or myself and Duane Eiskant Sr. The other guys in tech wanted to or to lean but most of the time its the same problem as NHRA......NOT ENOUGH MAN POWER to do the job. Tracks complained about all of the extra bodies that IHRA brought in to run the scales, fuel check, tech, and drafted most of us to check the track after each pair of Pros ran, scrape the track, pair cars, clean the s##t house or any other job that the premadonnas didnt want to do. I dont know who all is there now but Danny Waters and Hank Blankenship are dedicated and try to as good a job as they can. Some of the tech crew only want to play and kiss *** with the Pro guys. If I was back there (Im to OLD now and dont see it happening) and had the "say so" a lot would not pass teardown. Im off my soap box now. Have a nice day.
