Agreed, everyone has to deal with it in their own way. Tech inspection is always a crap shoot no matter how hard they try and take the gray out. When I get frustrated over yet another different interpretation of the same rule. Rather than vent on the guy doing the tech I try and put myself in his position. If I was responsible for the safety of all the guys running that day I would be as diligent as I could be to ensure everyone was safe. When you really think about it the guys doing tech are typically passionate about the sport and at many tracks donating their time. It is the same for me when I pull range duty I try and always put the shooters safety first over all else. Long story short, overall the tech guys do a pretty darn good job in a tough spot. Apologies for the rant but many of us volunteer in a wide array of venues and it is the same principal. No good deed goes unpunished! Hah!
