Gator class teardowns

Hacksaw · 03-23-2017, 09:03 AM

Most people here seem to be concerned with tech infractions of a mechanical nature involving performance and I agree that this could be an issue, but the electronic "cheating" is my biggest worry. Mostly a Super Stock problem. We could easily have a dozen (or multiples of) already among us. No tech - no risk of getting caught. I would consider paying an extra fee to police this even though we should not have to.

An extra fee, what a novel thought, nhra doesn't bleed enough from racers so now you're volunteering money?

I got an idea, how about they use some of the membership fee's to pay for tech? I think most would gladly give up the other perks (magazine subscription, etc) Lol!

Edit: while you're at it, might as well throw some $$ their way to pay for allowing S/SS on the track during their races. (oh wait, that's supposed to be called entry fee isn't it?)

You want tears downs? They don't even tech cars ..lol They don't even do piston and rods at INDY ! Ship has sailed but I will keep going

You would think since the new car manufacturers have jumped back in to S/SS spending millions of dollars, they would have discussed this with NHRA making sure that everybody was following the rules. But maybe not...

I was told by an NHRA official last year that all 1.20 or more under runs would result in a teardown. My reply was that I thought it was a great idea.............

What about the .500 under racer that goes 4,5 or 6 rounds using bogus electronics? At what time are they going to check their combo?

Until the package that I put together is as good as it needs to be, that is not an issue to me. I seriously doubt that some of the guys that you think are running electronics actually are. Some of these guys really are that good.

If you can run the index you could possibly be competing with a electronics "cheater" in the other lane. And I agree that some of these guys are that good and I applaud them. It's the few, and I have been stung twice before he got caught and bounced out of the Association.

Let's stop talking about throwing more money NHRA way, it's bad enough that their bs insurance donation which there's no recovery if no occurance happens. I paid my membership, my car's permanent number, that should be enough to guarantee that the playing field is managed with integrity. NHRA needs to rethink their money's going to the controllers of the association. We need a lawyer in our mitt's to bring an action against them for miss appropriations of membership money's
