    Gotta agree with Greg. When I register for the ARRC and make the trek to the event, I go knowing that if I place in the top cars in my class it's very likely my engine will be torn apart among other things. I also recognize the inspectors are looking at not only my car which would take long enough but also other cars in my and other classes. Quite honestly, that's been one of the lures to this race - the fact they have at least a little bit of a tech inspection.

    Congrats though Aaron. Fun even, eh? Hopefully I'll see you there next year.

    It was a very fun event and I do plan on going again. Next year I do plan on staying through Sunday and not rushing to the airport too... lol

    Dont get me wrong, I do appreciate everything that the tech inspectors were doing...

    LOL - cut the kid a break, it was his first time there!!!

    That said - thanks for applying a little more pressure, Aaron! We already'd had lunch there, I wasn't looking forward to dinner too... it really was a LONG time... and watching the cars stack up behind us, Group 1, it looked like there was a serious throughput problem...

    I appreciate the effort needed, and the level of scrutiny - but maybe some better structure might help streamline things... there were a lot more rumours flying around that shed than were helpful...

    But PLEASE tell me they have learned how to measure and calculate compression ratio!

    They couldn't do it ten years ago. Measured my head volume and said I was OK! Never looked at the block or head gasket!

    They were definitely looking at the blocks... seemed like for hours... and I did see someone walking around with a headgasket...

    But the calculations seemed to go on for more hours than one would expect for simple arithmetic...
