No tech penalties.

So lets say that they pass the "no tech" rule and have the racers be responsible for safety and legality.

Not a bad idea when you consider that most of the racers participate in more than one race per year. They have repeatedly been tech throughout the year. Most of the time, nothing has changed and this would speed things up.

Tech inspectors usually find safety issues that have to be remedied right then and there or are told to have fixed by the next race. Of course motor, trans, rear end modifications or improvements should be re-tech.

My question is what are going to be the penalties if an in-fracture occurs during time trials or eliminations. Is there a fine, or is the racer DQ'd, or a slap on the wrist. How severe should the penalty be for different violations. This is a whole new can of worms. If a racer has cheated through the drive train, should he be banned or warned with a fine. Should the other racers be allowed to handle the situation behind closed doors or in the back forty. Is there a death penalty. What happens if is is a "chosen" racer who violates some rules, are they on equal ground as a common racer. Who handles the penalties, your DD or Glendora, or the tech person themselves. Will this turn into a East / West coast affair.

Why are we even worried about this, we have no say. Appears that we are not that welcomed by all the enhancements.
