Do you believe that the NHRA techs are doing their job?

I do agree that the NHRA Techs are doing thier job. The stock/superstock techs are amongs the hardest working people at an event. I do not travel much, however I do know that the tech officials here in Division 4 are definately hard working people. These people definately do not do this to get rich by any means, your looking at just a hair above minimum wage. Yes, the rules have definately been laxed throughout the years. They enforce the rules as they are told to do so by NHRA regardless of thier judgement on certain rules. If you have a problem with a certain tech official let the Tech Director of the certain division know. Not all people are going to know every last thing for every single car. Normally some new type of information that is brought to an official, is going to be welcomed with open arms (granted that it is done correctly). More types of cars have entered the playing field since the 1970s, as well as different generations that view rules differently.

With that being said, I once again say that yes, they are definately doing thier job to the best of thier abilities. There will be more knowledgable people than others on certain subjects, but not everyone can be perfect.
