Tech Inspection stories?

Back in the early 1980's at Cayuga (now Toronto Motorsport Park) my father was racing his 10 second bracket '69 Camaro. It may have also been a divisional points meet for class cars as well as a Pro Stock show can't recall. Tech inspector checks our car and is pleased with everything except advises that we had too much rubber hose used in fuel line for connection purposes. I believe he said we had more than the allowable 6 inches. Had to scramble and make corrections or not race, okay fair enough. Later that day when looking at Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins Pro Stock Camaro we saw about 2-3 feet in total running from his regulator to his twin side mounted Holley carbs. He was not the only pro plumbed that way but ... he was a legend and we were bracket chumps ... fun times, great memories.
