Front End Suspension, NHRA Rule Question

Andy Friar · 09-12-2013, 02:29 PM

Please excuse me if this is a dumb question. I am building my first race car, with my Dad, and we had a question about the NHRA rule for stock eliminator cars.

Section 10, page 7 states: "Must retain complete stock front suspension system as produced by manufacturer for body used, aftermarket tie rods with Heim joints permitted. Lift kits/travel limiters prohibited. Sway bar optional. SeeGeneral Regulations 3:4."

I don't think that everyone uses stock rubber bushings and I know that racers don't use stock front shocks either. Don't know about what people run for ball joints, but I believe that I want to reduce stiction in the front suspension. That being said would a drag kit like offered by Global West be NHRA legal to run on our 1969 Chevelle?
