Safety & Strut rod conversation with Bruce @ NHRA
I talked to Bruce today regarding the safety issues with stock strut rods, deflecting and causing the front wheels to skid on cars like my '64 Thunderbolt, they feel that it's OK to have safe Super-stock cars but not stock eliminator!???! Please take the time ASAP to e-mail NHRA's tech department with your safety concerns regarding the use of aftermarket strut rods to control the unsafe movement, during wheel stands and braking! There is no performance advantage here......strictly safety. Tom Nolan A/SA 6015
