Sam, the story behind that is...

The NHRA chassis inspector was in town doing some inspects.
Even though I had 1yr. left on this certification I paid him to come over to my shop and give me a recurrent insp.
Well the main hoop did not pass the ultra sound by .001&quot;
in one short section.
So he says that he won't recertify it but will leave the current Chassis cert. go for the remaining 12mo. &quot;Because it looks to be a pretty STOUT cage&quot;. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Yes I did talk to the folks in Glendora,CA about his action, their reply was &quot;the division Chassis guys make their own calls&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]

So.. out comes the sawzall. My opinion -&quot;if its not good for a new 3yr. term it sure as Hell won't do for another season&quot;
Thank God we gutted it.
