SFI pants for Stock

Yep, NHRA really impresses me with their brilliance. You can use a 50 year old stock seat belt in some classes, but in others, your belt better not be over 2 years old.
Every high school physics student learns that electrons flow from the anode to the cathode. They then learn how to tell which is + by drawing two + marks for eyes on an outline of a cat. Sooooo, NHRA demands that the kill switch be on, you guessed it, the positive side. If the reason for the "incident" is an accident, and you hammer the switch location, guess what. The terminals ground on the car body and make nice sparks to meet up with all that nice leaking gasoline.

I`m actually impressed that they`re implementing this rule for some of the middle classed Stockers. Maybe they`re making up for the fact that until a couple of years ago you could run an 8 second Super Stocker with a 3 layer jacket only,no neck collar,no gloves,arm restraints or pants. That always used to bother me when I ran S/C,drove with all of the safety equipment on,and a driver of a 7 second turbo Super Stocker could wear sweat pants. Never made sense to me. But now,since all I drive is a slow Stocker again,I`ll continue to wear my pajama pants.
