Or if an inspector is going to a local race shop, that works as well. Inspectors go down there too.

The price to cert your chassis is a standard price. By having it done as a group cuts the traveling expense down a bit. Call NHRA eastern division and set something up. Ron is typically on the road on Saturdays and may not be that far from you therefore the traveling expenses are minimal.
