Current thinking is SS only, which I think is a mistake. If you agree, let someone know, your Div Tech person, your SRAC rep, or someone. If you think SS only is the correct decision, remain quiet in your seat, don't bother the girl in the seat in front of you, and do your classwork.

Hey guys I sent Bruce and Pat an email and I attached the pictures that I posted previously in this thread. Hopefully it helps. If you have not expressed your opinions to them please do as the new racing season is coming quickly.

The reasons given for not allowing these are absurd. It doesn't take Nostradamas to see the lawsuit that is coming if somebody gets hurts or wrecks do to this ruling. NHRA Dedicated to Safety? Or is this slogan as antiquated as a 50 year old strut rod design ?

It does not sound good :confused:, I guess they will inforce this rule for ALL makes & models taking part in the divisionals?

Re: Suspension Notice for S/SS by NHRA
 

Well I deleted my message earlier because I was getting a little P.O. Anyways I got a reply back from Pat that pretty much says call somebody who cares. Why am I getting in to this sh!t again? I can understand if I/we were asking for a performance advantage or for aftermarket cranks or 3 speeds to be allowed to be used in cars that only came with 2 speeds etc... but really they are going to stand and fight on a real safety issue. Well I guess I'll just make my own deal that's not a spherical bearing or rod end as that seems to be there holding point.

Did they actually give you a reason?

Re: Suspension Notice for S/SS by NHRA
 

Can somebody help me understand how this is a safety issue in Super Stock but not Stock? Do the rubber bushings know the difference? Are they only good for 130mph but not 150mph? I still don't understand. They acknowledge the issue and correct it in one class but not the other. I guess you get a year off if you show up with one of these correct?

Re: Suspension Notice for S/SS by NHRA
 

I doubt that unless you throw a fit and become unsportsmanlike. If you show up without your car correct you probably will not pass tech and will have to fix it before you get to race.

Re: Suspension Notice for S/SS by NHRA
 

There is no reason to throw a fit, it will not get us anywhere. I guess IF it applies for ALL cars we will be spending more money to make our cars unsafe to meet the rules????
