Mainly they look for tube placement, Size of the tubes and wall thickness. Also, that welds are good. There is an SFI book they (and I) use for a guide. I built this to 25.4 specs. which means it can go 7.50 or slower ...and must weigh less than 3,600 lbs. race ready.
It only took a few minutes. They check the size of the tubes with a tube template and then test wall thickness with a sonic tester.
Tech guys gave me a hard time about the rear end. As in joking around, not as being a problem. They are a good group of people. Along with Techinspector1 they also gave me guidance as I was building, I sent a few emails to Ritch Bowers (Tech) thoughout the project, and he was always helpful and patient with my questions.
We were done with tech by 10 am or so, but hung around a couple hours to talk to other racers and just looking over all the other cars going through the lanes. This is our third year going to tech, just to look for ideas & admire the cars. It was fun actually having a car of our own there this time."PLAN" your life like you will live to 120.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
