Pretty refreshing to see some checks going on again.

I agree, I would not expect a full on teardown at a points meet, but check the obvious safety stuff.

4 cars were booted due to loose ballast at sgmp race 1. They all fixed it and raced in race 2

They later checked some carbs and head casting numbers and rocker arms for stockers.

They also checked me for a clutchless.

They checked wheelbase on some SS cars.

Great way to tighten things up and get some training done.

I would look for more of this.

I heard there were checks at the Earlville Iowa race as well

I was one of the cars that was looked at at the National Open at Earlville, and I was #2 qualifier for both races that weekend. Anyone racing Stock or SS this is what we signed up for. If that means taking it apart to check its legal then you better make sure its legal, and be ready if asked. We need more checks that what we are racing is per the rules. Otherwise go bracket race. I agree with Jim, we need more tech checking cars.


Suggesting the guy that bought someone elses car is legal, and not checking it seems risky to me. The lack of a rear firewall would be one of the items I would take another look at on your car.
