Re: Current rules you’d like to see enforced
 

Charlie Bob, this actually came up at Topeka divisional last year as competitors were forced to chill in their pits. I fought with the tech dept on this until they pulled out a rulebook and read it to me personally and I was incorrect. The rule reads as follows:

General Regulations, Section 21, Page 5
Fuel/Air: Any method of artificially cooling or heating fuel
prohibited (i.e., cool cans, Freon, wet rags, etc.), except as
noted in Class Requirements. Cool cans, wet towels, etc. are
permitted in Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas,
Super Street, and E.T. classes. Wet towels, rags, ice, etc. must
be removed before vehicle leaves staging area. Coolers, chillers,
etc., where permitted by class requirements, are prohibited
outside of the competitor’s pit. Ambient-temperature air only;
cooling or otherwise changing the conditions of the intake air is
prohibited. Spraying of intake with any artificial spray or coolant
prohibited.

I for one dont care which way the rule should be written, but I have 2 questions.
1 With the current way rule is written can you leave ice in the cool fuel container when going down track?
2 I asked this question before but having bags of ice on the hood constitute cooling the air around carb?

How do people keep doing certain stuff and not get caught/busted ?

Hey Charlie-Bob, just for clarity's sake, how close is a T-5 to a G-Force or a Jericho?

BRING INTEGRITY BACK TO STOCK RACING.ALL WINNERS UNDERGO / PASS TECHNICAL INSPECTION!

Vehicles aren't being teched at all anymore for legality unless you set a record or go 1.20 under (and then only maybe) ...the easiest way to enforce what rules we have is to enforce it at the end of the race and set up a system of applying points and winnings if a competitor is found bogus. You want a check and a Wally...prove you are legal.

Easily done....one car per class to tear down after racing is done....

Only two things keep racers in line from cheating ...integrity/paranoia.

Re: Current rules you’d like to see enforced
 

The problem (s) I see with tear down after racing is that racers and tech maybe want to get home to real jobs and families. Long weekend for both. Too often I driven 6-9 hours half asleep to make work Monday morning.

In the Farmer days every class winner tore down.

Re: Current rules you’d like to see enforced
 

How about bringing STOCK back to Stock Eliminator???

I know I don't race myself anymore, and I am NOT trying to throw anyone under the bus.

I love Stock and Super Stock, but I see lots of things that do NOT reflect the intent of Stock.

We should Outlaw Dry Ice,cool cans, thin oil,chevy2 oil pans. Any run under 1.00 your beer drinking buddy has to take your throttle body or carb off and let everyone with the same combo look at it. If you go 1.20 under you have to take your car all the way apart motor,trans,rearend lay it all out on card board in your pit area for everyone to look at and take pictures because you have to be cheating because you are not smart enough to go that fast.

Mr Belanger could you please tell me how one using a NHRA Accepted Stock Replacement Oil Pan # Milodon 31060 on a 67 Chevy ll is cheating or gaining a performance advantage?
