IMCA like Nhra lack tech people with knowledge, they both once had pre tech, not so much any more.

Just started getting involved with dirt cars. The IMCA and street stocks take the top 3 after race and tech them what they wanted to see. One night it was all 4 shocks, go no go gauge in 2 barrel carb was used once, front spindles and heads have to have IMCA stamped on them. For a 200 to win they are getting checked pretty well.

Running a Limited Modified and some tracks do not look at much, others look at everything, especially in big money races we can expect to take a head off, carb inspection, suspension etc...
And they also take a coupon of our Hoosier Dirt tires and test it for doping or mysterious substances on the tires (Mainly right rear) Last edited by nickh; 03-13-2024 at 11:36 AM. |

Jeff
I follow all 3 drivers that had tires in violation, hate to see this but all racers have been warned many many times about this. All I can say is their tires coupons taken (3) came back with violated integrity of their tires. They tested 3 samples off of tires on 67 different racers and these 3 racers tires did not pass. Huge fan of all 3 drivers. A.J. Foyt once said "you ain't cheating till you get caught". LOL Here is video of CEO of world of outlaws address this. Last edited by nickh; 03-14-2024 at 09:13 AM. |

Nhra doesn’t have the time or man power to tear people down
Also the 130 under is the new automatic teardown why is that So there is Less teardown of competitors There rules to live by

NHRA does not want to invest into their infrastructure with more experienced tech officials. That money might take away from the higher up bonuses!

INTEGRITY is the issue, especially when money is on the line.
Apparently there was a rumor going around Gainesville that a racer at the ProSuperStar race who qualified well was extremely light. Really ��, if this is in fact true names should be named! Some people have no Integrity. This was a chip draw race...why would a racer do this? If this is done at this race what else are they doing? Last edited by Spectre; 03-14-2024 at 01:10 PM. |

Mr. Perrone, that is exactly why I came up with this suggestion. It is easier
than what NHRA thinks they have to do when the word teardown is mentioned. I thought maybe we could have a few more of these as opposed to nothing at all. Primarily, Indy is the only place where teardowns happen now, and I hoping we could enhance that. At least it may help the honesty quotient higher.. I believe 95 % of us are legal. 100 % of us do scream foul when somebody runs a number that is faster that we think it should be able to go. I'm just trying to lower the anxiety level. J.R. |
