I crew on a comp team, so I have no skin in the game but I do have a observation. After 50 plus years of class racing NHRA is still checking cars the same old way (we will put a valve cover on the engine to see if it fits, really). Time for NHRA to step up and get in the 90's (when CNC machining became popular) and upgrade their technical departments measuring systems. Nascar now uses a 28 point body laser measuring system at the track along with body templates to measure their cars. There are also portable measuring arms that link to a computer to do measurements. Nhra could put a system together to measure all their cars, TF FC Prostock, promod,

Also, NHRA could probably get the dimensions from the manufacturer's of the engine components,(I bet most manufacturer's will give coordinates with factory dimension's on it for measuring)
Probably could get a machine manufacturer to be a official NHRA supplier

Just my 2 cents

As you know ,the only upgrades the NHRA has performed are corporate paychecks and financial enhancements to the members and downgraded their responsibility to the members of the sportsman classes. They are truly out of touch with sportsman racing.

Which is a big part of the reason all this crap happened in the first place, and how the rule got pushed so far, then - not enforced - but changed !!!!! Very lame, NHRA.
