If you go through tech and tell them it is a 12.00 sec car, they simply put you in the "A" class with all the other 12.00 sec cars. Now you are tech'd in. You go out and run 11.00, well they just move you to the next class. Again each track is in charge of that aspect of the show, so they can either re-tech you or just move you and go on. Most tracks are so overwhelmed with the show that they do not have time to re-tech anyone. If a person protests a safety issue, he is protesting to the track, not Pinks. Once a protest is made, the track has to address the issue and decide if they are going to conform to rules that govern their track, primarily insurance rules, especially when they are on national TV.
when I was at drivers meeting sat morning Rich said they would not re-tech anyone the tower would know what u run and move it accordingly but u would not get a different letter for ur car. He never said anything about what would happen if u went to fast for tech rules.

Right, but all someone would have to do is protest or point it out basically and you'd lose your spot.

I never got on much because its mainly F bodies, not many GTOs. I saw a lot of you guys at Pinks, its nice to talk to local guys.

Also, the vids weren't taken by me, just some friends. I dont have them to e-mail or I would.
