Not since I left. I think they did it for a couple of years when Duane "Ice Bucket" was still with them then zip !

This was completely unannounced.JB

The other guy was probably Howie "Dude" Dalton. He is an electronic guru.

Both organizations have reduced teardowns, it appears. They are no fun for the teardownee for sure. But without the threat I fear that we will become just another bracket class. When teardowns are conducted after an absence, they usually find some rules infractions. Light pistons, light rods, etc.
Someone mentioned filing a protest, the fees imposed are so high it discourages all but the most flagrant situtations from being exposed.
If everyone is comfortable with the current practice, then let's race on.
