Mark last time I checked we pay a membership fee for the year and an entry fee at each race for a service. It’s not the racers fault NHRA under staffs these events so the people at the top can have bigger salaries. Please tell me where I slammed the div 1 tech guys

Everett if you get beat in the semis for class by someone that wins and is later tossed do they re run the class final? No, so the eliminator would follow the same outline.

Considering what this class is supposed to be it makes all the since in the world. Problem now days is if they did a legit stocker tear down the owner would show up with their lawyer threatening a law suite because they want to throw them out for their so called stocker heads head's and intake. That they spent $13,000 on. Lets face it there are very few cars out there that would survive a Farmer tear down. If he was allowed to do his job correctly. And with NHRA's new tech it is only going to get worse.

Mark I do agree there are quite a few tech guys at the div level that bust there butts all weekend long.

Making nasty comments about our division one officials isn't the issue here
I agree with with some of your thoughts but dont attack a great bunch of guys who work for little money and work very hard
I say we support them and thanks them for what they do

I don't believe the Tech people are the issue. It is the fact that they have their hands tied from above and are not allowed to do their jobs.
