I'm just curious.....do you need tethers on an eight mile bracket car?

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

Im in the same boat as many. I heard the rule come up and figured Id be able to come up with something that would work really nice for my application, since Ive got two cars with slip-together style headers. Is the process to get something accepted on the NHRA site?

It is about NHRA-approved.
My feelings are clear on this whole deal:
If we have to tether headers collectors which evidently are flying off at an alarming rate (never seen it in 25 years of racing and 15 years owning tracks) they BETTER be adding -
Wheel tethers,
steering wheel tethers,
lug nut tethers,
Fuel cell tethers,
battery tethers,
hood and hood scoop tethers
rear end housing tethers,

WHERE would the TETHER RULE END? or should it ever end?

Never have I seen a more stupid rule.

Chevy 620,
I wonder if a weld on ladder bar system on a stock Eliminator car (heck, maybe even a 4-link) would be considered a tether system for the rear end?

Agree 1000%.. and why does this non life saving piece of scrap need to be SFI?

Re: You got to be kidding?
 

It is not SFI approved and SFI does not have a specification either.
It is NHRA approved only.

Ed, I have never been more entertained that watching the 10.5 outlaws and the street radial cars run the 1/8 mile around your part of the country and in the Ozarks. And, I am a redneck, but not crazy....LOL I did test both cars at Ozark Raceway. They did not tech either car....Hell, I could have had 3 lug studs and they wouldn't have cared. Their comment was, if you race NHRA, that is good enough for us. My original comment was intended for 1320 racer that seems to enjoy 660 racing. LOL
