It's humorous that you think we were the problem. Jed's a great guy but it was BIR that dropped the ball last year as they were supposed to have more staff for tech, Jordan helped as a courtesy to them to speed up the process. Also, do you think BIR's normal tech staff could appropriately class our cars? People are complaining about tubular manifolds and stock appearing turbos having made it through last year even with Jordan in the tech lane.

So you're saying you (MAP) had not intended on teching, but BIR's staff was just late on the scene?


I also quite like Brad's idea of having a basic tech, then a class tech controlled by the event organizers.

x2, that should speed things up I would think. Let BIR do what they are good at (or at least what they have a clue about) then let MAP put them in their respective classes.
