No rulebook from NHRA

Ross Family Racing · 07-02-2009, 07:48 AM

Published in the current National Dragster NHRA announced that starting in 2010 the rulebook will be published online for members only. If you wish to have a hard copy you will have to purchase the book.
It will not be part of your membership package. Real nice, eh!!!

Part of the cost saving, expect more changes.

IHRA tried that. It lasted one year.

I guess if everyone that comes to the races has a wireless laptop, that is OK.
Lucky for me, I don't have to use a laptop for work, and I don't have a personal one either.
One of the biggest enjoyments of going racing is that I don't have to work on a computer when I'm there.

You can just print it up at home, and carry around 286 one sided pages in your back pocket! It didn't work for IHRA, and I don't think it's going to work for NHRA, either.

Why would that change unless our above sea level factors are increased

And of course NHRA will pass on the savings to us? Terrible idea in my opinion.

Why not just print the "Procedures" maual online instead? It has all the "real" rules, the rule book is just a guide. haha

Just adds to my growing list of reasons NOT to renew my membership in NHRA next year.

They're making it too easy...

Next, will be National Dragster online only. Wait and see. Then, while we're not running our car They'll issue us a broom and help sweep up the track and empty the garbage cans.
