Re: Attention FS Whipple 2.9L Supercharged cars, bring tools
Any real attempt by NHRA to improve the tech inspection process is a positive move on their part. Afterall, NHRA is paid by racers to provide some sort of oversight and adherence to the stated rules. Did they just tear yours down or did they pick others?

Re: Attention FS Whipple 2.9L Supercharged cars, bring tools
I noticed Jim said they also took the 2.9L Whipple that wasn't even entered in that event to check it out also. Why would they check it if it wasn't even entered there. Do they mark them so they know that they have been checked ? Have they been checking these earlier ? or was this just an excursion.

The car actually was entered in the event and I was the driver but we had throttle body issues so I parked the car and withdrew from the event. They do write down the serial # of the blower which represents the rotor packs and housing size.

As far as I know it was just me on the 2.9L Supercharger and I think it was their first one in the field. So it took them a while to inspect it. They also did say they were taking sound clips of the supercharger whine at the 1,000 ft mark.
