My point was that if there is not a robust tech it will keep these types of events from realizing their full potential. I know of some very successful racers that routinely travel cross country for races are passing on these events out of concern for cheating. Hopefully those in attendance will report that tech checked cars very closely so that such concerns go away and this type of race grows to achieve even higher levels of success in the future.

The only reasons why people will not tow for the dough are weather, and stuff not being ready.......afraid of cheaters........these events will be better teched than national events......afraid of the best stock and superstockers on the planet rolling in, well thats a certainty....thats what makes it a must do, must go! These are much needed additions to the Sportsman world. People will vote with wallets.
