Can't you have your car inspected once a year and receive an ETI card? I have plenty of bracket racers that have done it. They still have to go to tech but bypass line of they have card present and current. Not sure if this can apply to s/ss

Just imagine no tech at Indy when 180 cars are trying to qualify for 128 spots.

IHRA had a "Quick Tech" proceedure several years ago. At the beginning of the season, you get your car teched and a numbered decal on the roll bar. Afterwards, you just brought the tech card to the tech line. They discontinued it for Stock & SS a couple of years ago.

There was really no tech in Brainerd since most of the racers were there for the LODRS the weekend prior. However, I didn't notice any checks in place to be sure that you really had been there the prior weekend. We all just rode up on scooters/golf cars and the tech staff made sure all of the necessary items were written down. Honestly, it was pretty nice!
The latest National Dragster from Indy is a joke. No stories at all for the sportsman categories. As was posted above, I heard that those writers have been let go.

Apparently NHRA is testing the waters to minimize Tech and maybe personnel .
I received an Email today from NHRA to participate in a pilot program where you print out your tech card and just turn it in when you go to the credential trailer . You assume all responsibility for your car and equipment and card being correct. Also states NHRA personnel will perform spot checks. Stock/ SS also gets their weight stickers at the trailer. So if they adopt this ,the tech line wait will be gone and replaced by lines at the credential trailer.

I normally wait a lot longer in the credential lines than I do in tech lines.

I like the idea of a once a year tech. They could spot check cars during fuel check or in the lanes

Myron the reason S/SS can't do annual tech in IHRA because a racer took advantage of the system at a division race couple years ago.
