That is nuts. I can see why the NHRA would think that a team member MIGHT be able to hide something if they did the teardown.
Still not a reason why they could watch.
I want my fair share

What??? No way, wouldnt leave my stuff unattended. PERIOD. Wonder why noone has the stones to say NO to that???
Because you have no choice. Sure, you can refuse, then you are simply disqualified. It may not be right, but you don't have much of a choice if you want to race.

Its my understanding that you have always been allowed to be present during tear down. I watched them tear down at Indy, and the team was present. What if tech turns the wrong nob in the car? What if they go out to run and the car hits the wall? What if tech accidentally adjusted the shocks, and the car gets violent and crashes? THIS IS WRONG!!!!!

The question is what was NHRA looking for?
What they have on the field you are not going to find in an hour anyway.

It will be interesting to hear the other side of the story. Not allowing anyone in teardown is unusual, but I have seen guys pull things in teardown that you wouldn't believe. If 5 cars took 45 minutes you can bet they were not tearing much down. They were looking for something specific. I would guess that not allowing anyone in was to keep teams from telling the rest what they were looking for. After his tirade at the US Nats WJ probably dropped a dime on someone. What is your other option besides running NHRA in Pro Stock? Rebuild your whole combination and run in the relative obscurity of the IHRA or ADRL? That ain't gonna happen.

They teams as racers should get together and put there foot down..If they all did it together, there is nut much NHRA could do.. They need to get together and form a new sanctioned body knock NHRA off the high horse.
