For some(me for one), the extra 20 cars is a killer.more will drop out the closer it gets to race day.

That's going to keep them busy. Can you imagine having to tech 50 engines? They don't pay those men enough.

They used to teardown every winner and runnerup.One year in g/sa they had the fastest 6 out of 12 cars tear down.They would start tearing them down as soon as class run offs started.

Do they ever tear down the top qualifiers? (Don't know and asking?)

Anyone qualified could be
subjected to inspection. At this race there is more
teardowns than any other race.....

Ok. That is what I understood. The top guys don't end up on that list from what I have seen the last few years. I was surprised at who they pick. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

Sure. great to see you on the forum Ross.
You are a great addition to div. 5 , nhra racing and stock elim.
Good to see energy and new people. Can use
some more foresure. Don't rule out combo races
at bandimere.

Was thinking one other reason why top qualifiers may not
get tear down is if they have had previous inspection NHRA
does keep record and likely would not look at them
again if they passed in last 12 months. Do believe NHRA does best
they can to keep things fair.

Thanks for the kind words. It sure has been a learning experience jumping right in the fire. You and Lane have been very cool to me. Going to try to make one more combo race up there this year.

Someday I sure hope to race Indy, (have to work harder on my car) just not ready to run with the big guys yet. After every race it's like the lights get brighter in the room... LOL.
