Class RACING needs your expertise now more than ever.It's going to take all involved to keep s/ss alive as we know it.I feel I can say this due to have given 7 yrs. to trying to keep a level and fair playing field.in all classes by enforcing the the rules as written. So the next time you talk with a tech person or race official.why don't you thank them instead of talking trash.They are there out of the love of the sport ,without them there would not be an event.Good luck to all in 2017 and may the win lights be plentiful in your lane.

^^ good points.

I know the 4 times I have been through teardown after setting class records I got to see more of what techs go thru.

They have my utmost respect. They have to be familiar with all the different combos ( and it is A LOT ) and constantly changing rules. Plus they have to deal with racers that push things into the "gray area"
