[QUOTE="InDaShop, post: 130729, member: 1295"] This place is pretty cool. Seen some junk and I do mean JUNK. But for the most part have been pretty impressed. Then there are the high attention to detail/fab cars that just blow you away. We left the motel at 8:30 and finally got in the Tech line at 2pm. We got back to our pit at 7pm and you have to be off the salt by 8pm. So no racing yet. We have a Rookie driver meeting at 11am and can hopefully be licensing by 1pm. Ok back to TECH. First waited in line forever, then when we pulled it under the canopy I literally stripped it. It got gone over with mirrors, micrometers, flashlights to the firewalls. Hose by hose routing. Ummmm it was humbling. That all said, new car new build and it passed tech cleared for racing. They did note one mod we have to have done by next meet, but we already planned on changing it (side firewalls on chassis). So that is HUGE the car passed TECH!!! Bad news though. All three drivers failed. Can't get out of the car with our HANS on in full race gear. I went first and I have done "Bail Out" trainig in it at home but never with my firesuit on. Anyway even skinny ass Teske got stuck. So what happens is you Hans would hook under the Helmet padding on the rollbars and you were done!!! So before we got tosses off the salt at 8. I cut those pads back 8" from the leading edge of the cage, then bent it in. Gaining 2" of width for 10"s on either side of your helmet. Additionally, I cut 2" off the bottom of one side of the dash to aid you knee goin under quicker allowing you to drop to get in a bit easier or get out easier. Didn't test fit yet though. We retry "Bail Out" in the am. Headed for the salt at 6am. [/QUOTE]
