Curious to see the new "race weight."

With the Tech change to USAC, is it a full re-Tech, as if it's a new build that's never been tech'd/banded before, or just a quick check over for safety equipment dates and anything obviously wrong/unsafe?

It is going to be a full re-tech and re-banding prior to the 2022 race season. ULTRA4 has setup authorized tech locations all over the country. There are two locations here in Colorado I have contacted.

That's what I thought was the case for 2022, but wasn't for sure.

I understood it was a rebanding but those that where previously banded would be grandfathered in. Do you have more info on this. If it is a complete re-inspection, i am out of the racing business with this chassis.

I am planning for a full re-tech. I heard they will be weighting and checking tube size. My truck was built in accordance with the 2020 U4 rule book so I am good either way. If you have something questionable I would fix it prior to tech or contact someone at U4 and ask them. I should have my appointment soon and I will let you know the details of the process.

I am not sure who to even contact now.
