Last track day the tech guys were pretty thorough.. checking dates on helmets, digging through cars, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually get teched by a guy in a wheelchair. While he does look at my helmet, he barely even glances at my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he does look at my helmet, he barely even glances at my car. ^^^this Nice guy but just the basics most of the time. He did check me pretty good at the start of the year including under hood and emergency switch on back, but maybe he remembered me the rest of the year. At the rental he only checked my helmet. I know my safety stuff meets or exceeds what I need, but others who don't concern me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 FOOOOOK, looks like I am back out then. :fa::fa::fa: Bring a helmet with a current rating and you will be fine. It's an 11.50 car.... I went to edgewater a couple of weeks ago and the guy says "what's it run?" Me "11.50s". Ok, "you have the jacket and helmet, right?"....didn't look at the car at all. He was busy going over a Honda that ran 13s I ran in the 10s at 135+ all night. You need a license to run 135+. No care by them. This isn't Trails, but you get the idea.

I found that out Wednesday when I was out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that out Wednesday when I was out there. :fuuuu: Well if tech has gotten tighter, I wonder if I should make the trip myself. I'm totally fine with getting the boot if I crack a 9.9.... But if I get tossed out for a low 10 I'll be much disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um my car is running mid-low 9's at almost 150mph and all I have is a helmet and a stock seatbelt. Doubt it'll fly with them. And I planned on turning it up more.

gbracing81 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 When I had expired belts I told them once that my car ran low 13's and when I was turning mid 10's all night no one said anything. I'm not saying you should lie to anyone, but how can you really know what you're going to run before you make any runs??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I planned on turning it up more. I know. Like ForceFed said, you can get at least one pass. They will most likely tell you to park it at those #'s, but they may just tell you to slow it down. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIEF Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 He was the least of their worries... He only did it to cars he knew, that I'm aware of. Now I get grumpy old chick, and this older guy doing tech on my car. Old guy telling me I need a class on the car after my nhra license number is on the tech card in 1 class only. No, I dont. And old lady telling me, she needs to see me with pants on when I come back. I say they will be in my bag with the rest of my suit. "No, they need to be on you."

408 on a budget Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 If i dont go to KVD on Sat, ill be there, I wish i could do both sat and sun but the wife will be upset if i do. I was always told "Its better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission"! I suppose if i get put out early ill just say screw it and go to both anyways.
