I agree with Chuck 100% I copied this from the Div. 4 Website (I hope it doesn't violate any rules)
NEW TECH PROCEDURES FOR D-4 LODRS EVENTS



1. Tech will begin at noon on Thursday at all D-4 LODRS events. There will be Technical Officials onsite to handle tech during this time.



2. Tech for ALL classes will be held in the staging lanes or an area designated by Tech Officials. Any designated area will be announced over the loud speaker at the event.



3. There will be no house calls for COMP, TS, and TD at future events. Tech for these classes will be held in the lanes or designated area.



4. Early Tech will still happen on Fridays at all events. Staging lanes will be designated as cars that are already teched and ready to race and those needing tech. All cars needing tech will go into the same lanes and once a racer has completed tech they will have to then go to the assigned lanes for their class. Tech will not be provided in the lanes where racers are running.



5. Racers are encouraged to take advantage of Thursday tech and early tech on Friday so as not to take a chance on missing time runs.



6. This new procedure goes into effect beginning at the Thunder Valley LODRS event October 12-14, 2007.

Looks like the div races (at least Div 4) are headed toward having to be there 4 days. I really don't understand why we will miss runs on Friday since they have cut Top Sportsman & Top Dragster to 32 car fields. Could there be more time planned for the Top/.90 class shootouts? Could they be doing this to help us get more runs, Or could it be a plan to get us to the motel bars earlier? Draw what ever conclusion you want, but I think running later Friday & Saturday night is better than getting there on Thursday. OH! I forgot some of the Div tracks want to run their bracket program on Sat night... I'm a little concerned with the direction of our sport.
