Ed, he is 26th out of 54 that bracket race at his track. Not bad, he is in the top half and he is there every week (his words).... A couple of years ago, I finished top 10 with my 6 cylinder Jeep Cherokee, and only raced 4 races of pro bracket racing at our local strip. I'm not saying my Cherokee is faster....I'm just saying. I could have finished in the top 5 put my AC kicked on in the finals of the last race and I couldn't run the number. It is amazing how many things can screw you up when you are bracket racing.

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

that's your problem, you assume and think you know and where I am in points has nothing to do with header tethers. But if you must know, I'm at Numidia every points weekend except for those weekends that I am on the road with my son so he can compete at the IHRA Finals at MIR, the ECF at Bristol and the NHRA Division 1 Finals at Mason Dixon. Oh and he ain't leading the points, he's the track champion as he was last year.

Don't care what you did at your duck pond in bum f-ck, it ain't numidia dragway which boosts back to back team championships(2011 - 2012) as well the 2010 Super and 2012 Pro ET winners(same guy too, different cars) and without question home the toughest bracket racers in all of nhra division 1.

show me one. Again you assume and think you know. I'll save you the trouble, there ain't one! The quickest and fastest Stocker is an '08 Mustang that ran 8.89 @ 154.14, 13 months ago at Maple Grove!

This was at Indy in crappy air:

FS/DC Bill Skillman, Greenwood IN, '13 Mustang 8.834

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

Indy was days ago, my info was from ND as of 8/23/13 and there still ain't one that's "much faster" than my "rocket" despite costing far more than my junk but none of this has to do with collector tethers that are now required! The whiners need to get over it and pay your $!

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

It was your quote in my post! You don't post the facts.
Some of us find your personality disorder entertaining however

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

what part of the truth and the facts don't you like?:p

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

So, anyway...back to the topic at hand, but slightly away from it...

The NHRA rulebook states that only cars equipped with an exhaust requiring a tether must adhere to the rule next year. What about motorcycles? I noticed a PSM racer lost part of it's exhaust well past half track during qualifying last week at the U.S. Nats.
Just wondering.

Ed, I'm proud to be a "master tech" since you have NO knowledge of what is required to diagnose and repair todays modern vehicles, your opinion as usual is meaningless. Yeah I'm prolly in posession of a 6th grade education however good reasoning skills, proper training and alot of common sense has allowed me to become an asset to both General Motors as well as my employer. Actually I'm not trying to "entertain" anyone, though I do get a small amount of amusement out of the fact that when you get called out on an inaccurate statement you NEVER have a valid reponse, mere a childish quip.

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

Scott, if required, even I will be buying a pair from you.;)

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

Using these parts as a guideline, when you break down the parts it is $190 if bought separately and that does not include the tethers. And although I'm sure resourceful racers could price these parts out cheeper, it won't be that much cheaper.
Yes I'm sure there is a cheaper way but all-in-all, it bites but in kit form it's probably not horrible.
