I posed this specific question to B. Bachelder when this discussion came up here a while ago.
.

Stockers are exempt for the Flex Plate and Transmission Shield requirement!

Re: 2013 NHRA Rule Updates
 

With some stockers running deep in the 8's???? Yea right...cars faster than 10.99 require them, general regs apply.

Re: 2013 NHRA Rule Updates
 

Thanks for the info I wasn't sure if it superceded the stock rule

Re: 2013 NHRA Rule Updates
 

Exhaust tethers does that rule mean that all cars that meet that requirement have to have this device by 2014 and will it be something that you can make for yourself are will it have to have some manufactures name on it.And have we had a big rash of collectors falling off for this rule to have been implemented or is this just another rule to add more cost to a race car.

Re: 2013 NHRA Rule Updates
 

I have NEVER EVER had my collectors looked at in tech at ANY race EVER. I have seen slip on collectors just that, slipped on and maybe tapped on snug at best. Is this issue maybe something that is at fault of the tech people not catching and instructing racer to better secure them. Mine have 2 welded on tabs per collector and bolted together with locking nuts. Does this not suffice? Or is this going to escalate into one of those SFI approved, expiry dated contraptions that look like a pair of women's Garder straps. I have always subscribed to KISS (keep it simple stupid). Maybe I'm venting prematurely as I have all the confidence that NHRA will have a reasonable resolve for this.

This subject was discussed in detail previously.

I wonder what was the result of the meeting that Mark (A56), was having with NHRA on this subject?
