Stocker Battery Location ?
 

This is for NHRA stock class. Does the battery have to be up front and can you run 2 batteries (one in front and one in trunk) ? What else would be diff from an IHRA stocker to an NHRA stocker as far as tech goes? I would like to dip in a little close by div races ,but want to be right when i get there if i can .... Thanks in advance for any info .........

As I remember the NHRA rules, 1 battery must be in stock location. Second battery, (of the same size) allowed in the trunk but now you must have an external master cut off switch.

aren't Roller rockers legal in IHRA?

Re: Stocker Battery Location ?
 

Yep ,but i don't have them on mine...Keep it coming cause i'm making a list and checking it twice.....

Re: Stocker Battery Location ?
 

me too, but because I'm going to run some IHRA and am wondering about the other way. I sure do like the one battery in the back in IHRA. I can postpone buying another 16V battery

No aluminum drive shafts.
No deep oil pans.

I highly suggest becoming an NHRA member so you can receive the rulebook online. Contemplating a class car without a rulebook in front of you is like playing Russian Roulette!

Danny, you'll need to make sure you request the "East Coast" version of the NHRA rules....LOL

Well before i come a member i kinda was wanting to know how close i was to being legal for tech. I figured as much as i have tried to help other racers for IHRA that they maybe could kinda return the favor. I know i am close ,but knew you guys could probably help a little.. Just seeing if it was worth buying a membership at all... How about a license or a physical for I , J , and K stock or lower ? So far , I am seeing a battery in front and a oil pan change. Thanks again........NEXT................................. ...................................

Danny,

No license or physical for a mid to lower class NHRA stocker. As Ed said
a race jacket and depending on ET probably pants too. I have to look into
the pants thing for Pro bracket ET to see if I will need it there too.

Thanks guys... I may be closer than i was thinking...... Happy New Year!!!!!!!....

Danny,
Battery can't be one of those fake store display ones either.

You guys tickle me on the pants thing. You will slip on a pair of pajama britches in a Heartbeat. Why not fire pants instead.

Danny,

Re: Stocker Battery Location ?
 

It has to be the same size as the one in the back too.
Be careful Mike and Scooter may be reading.LOL

There is a approved deep oil pan for your Chevy II. Maybe Travis Miller could chime in. Bill Basham has one on his car in Div. 4.

Re: Stocker Battery Location ?
 

Thanks Kirk, I just went on line and saw that. Thank goodness i already have an approved pan. Milodon #31060. So one less problem.... Now if i could get the hp to 220 or less for the 66 nova......

Re: Stocker Battery Location ?
 

This is a good thread. Keep the differences comiing. :)

Danny, I purchased my Malibu wagon from IHRA racer, I installed battery in stock location but didn`t hook it up, so you can take battery out for IHRA and put back in for NHRA. Tom
