It's good that you have helpful tech inspectors. All they have at the drag strip is your basic 'wink and a nod' types. I saw a Canadian first gen Firebird totally fly apart going down the track. I think one of the front fenders got as high as 100 feet off the ground! The ugly part was the radiator support dragging by the transmission lines for 100 feet and then all the trans fluid on the track.
