I've been accused of having a fake driver in my car, but that's a whole different issue. Mickey, as usual, your posts leave me both enlightened and perplexed all at the same time. Keep them coming!

Thanks Lyn, all you did was just alert tech about one of the best kept secrets.

It would seem a fake battery would be an advantage in a heads up run getting down to minimum weight.

Its not the most offensive bending of the rules that goes on, but likely one of the easiest to detect. If they want to really send the message, they will add the six month vacation that comes with other clearly intentional DQ offenses.

Eric giving people vacations for violations is counterproductive to padding the bottom line at NHRA. I believe they will start just letting the "violator" pay a $fine get it corrected, run the race and then they can see his contribution for the next race he enters.

You only have to run 1 battery in stock in it's stock location. You are allowed to run a 2nd battery in the trunk, if you choose to.The advantage is making the 40? lb battery under the hood weigh nothing and putting that weight over the rear. It can be a nice assist with traction on a marginal track.
