I haven't run out here yet. I made all my passes on the West Coast.

I don't have any problem with the NHRA rulebook, though. I build my stuff to comply with it and don't have problems. If I need to upgrade equipment to go faster, I'll do it.

Most of the time, if it's the first time you've been tech inspected and there's an issue, they'll let you go with the understanding the issue is resoved before your next visit. I'm fine with this, and when you return, be sure to remind the inspector what the issue was and point out how you've resoved it. It lets them know what kind of person you are, and has made life easier for me as a journalist when building a relationship with a track.

I have every intention of running my wagon at the local track(s) next year. I hope we could go together Derek- it'd be cool.
