So far this year there have been 8 different -1.20 runs at national events and points meets and not on Rod and Piston check.

Charlie Bob, that's simple. NHRA won't spend the monies to have enough people on hand to handle a race as it is let alone having KNOWLEDGEABLE, HANDS-ON people capable of doing tear downs.
The capable people at VMP this weekend were too busy doing every thing else involved in putting on the race to tear down anything.
But you're right, it should be mandatory, it affects too many other people to let slide.

At points meets it should be the head tech officials job to teardown and national events every time I ride by the tech trailer there’s alway 2-3 officials standing under the semi truck awning doing nothing. Especially on Thursday’s and fridays of national events.

I can only speak on behalf of the Marlow '69 camaro which added hp last week. Butch was driving it this week and they did pull him over after round 1 to check the carb and look at numbers on the intake and head.

It was probably a week late, but that did happen for the interest in fair reporting. Only the carb was taken off the car.

Couple more weekends of good air we might get some of these hot rods straightened out!

J Allen was 150 heavy on that run. He can go as fast as he wants. In the lanes he told me the haters were starting already. He said “I’m in the business of selling racing engines”. Exactly! I told him the only people hating are the ones that can’t go that fast. So you have two choices. Go figure out why yours won’t go that fast or call Allen.

Ed, it appears that you're J. Allen's new marketing manager. Keep up the good work.

Ed I ain't hating at all, me and Allen are friends I think. Not my combo so carrying on but looking at those weather numbers I'm pretty sure I could've went that fast if I wanted but I wouldn't, just my choice. By the way I don't claim to be real fast but all these hits people are taking I'm getting faster all the time lol.
