McClanahan DQ in Dallas

[J.R. Haddad]

I don't want to get into a contest about tech when and how, but all we complain about is the complete lack of tech. It is incumbent upon us
all to be legal at all times, period. If we are found not legal during eliminations, If you were in the other lane, I wonder how loud you
would complain when told your competitor was bounced and your
going through to the next round. Having said that, do we want consistency
in tech times? Perhaps they could let us know the night before. Now,
the best entry on this topic was Ryan's. He came on here, told us what
happened, didn"t hide from a thing. Do I think they did anything intentionally? Not a chance. That family could 10 things to screw their
cars up, and still beat most of us. Cheers to the McClanahan family
for their integrity.

If they had this on their agenda to check wheelbase should have been done during qualifying not in the middle of the jegs allstars

exactly!!!!!!

I would say that the wheelbase has been the most frequently checked item on my cars.

When you go to the Allstar race you KNOW that the cars are going to get extra scrutiny.

I hate it that a car failed, but it isn't the NHRA's job to baby us.

Because it’s the easiest thing to check! Should have been done before the race, like it always was until 2017! We continue to pay more money to enter these races, just to get less and less from NHRA! Hiring a few more tech guys would mean less money in the pockets of the higher ups and their $800,000 salaries!

Peter Clifford, CEO makes north of $1,000,000/year as he should at the helm of a company with $90 million in revenue.

We are living in different times. Everything is expensive. We are lucky that the NHRA survived the shut down.

Your car (and mine) should pass tech at any time.
