That Has To be the most ignorant statement you have made yet.There is no way that any normal person who does this as a hobby could ever keep up with the constantley evolving NHRA OR Ihra saftey rules.Most of us have to work in a feild that is not related to the automotive industry and when we get home we have to mow the lawn, play with the Kids,take care of are personal Buissness,not counting trying to find time to work on our cars and then save up enough money to maybe get the chance to drive how ever many miles to then proudly display our lifes work in your tech line and then be told that would should have done our homework and known exactley what kind of saftey equipment we should have in our vehicle.Welp there goes sleep time ,gotta learn ever last one of them so i want be made to feel like a moron.I guess the next time I"ll know better.Oh by the way as long as im paying an entry fee at your event it is your job to tell me if my car is up to standards and if it isn"t then you better be willingly to explain to me why its not.Remember the Customer is always right. After all if we all new all these rules then we would not need a tech guy.By the way you teched my buddy in in true street on Friday and could only fid one thing wrong,a hole in his Firewall.So it was promptly fixed that night.The next day you suddenly decided to tell him that is Bellhousing was not up to standards.This was a car that had over 3000 dollars worth of chrome moly nhra certified down to 7.50 roll cage in it.So we made a mistake.We worked like hell to finally get the car ready and then you treated us like idiots.Like we were trying to slip something by you.You knw if you would have told us that on Friday we could have acquired the necasary saftey equipment and put it in.But I guess it Doesnt really Matter does it George.
