Some interesting changes...it looks like you are able to build a Pinto, Vega or Plymouth Arrow for SS/GT class now!

Re: 2015 to 2016 NHRA Rule Changes
This is interesting. So what type of blinders are still legal?
"Tape of any kind prohibited on any transparent windscreen. The use of any temporary or permanent shielding, including paint, that obstructs the driver’s vision (e.g., blinders, staging aids) and that is attached to the helmet or windscreen is prohibited."

Re: 2015 to 2016 NHRA Rule Changes
There is one Super Stock racer who uses Class winning decals to block out the right side of his windshield with the decals .To not see the other cars leaving or the other cars light .it is funny to see this. Totally illegal

Re: 2015 to 2016 NHRA Rule Changes
page 34
" Taping or similar modifications to the helmet shield made by the driver that reduce the driver’s field of vision, and are deemed safe by driver in the driver’s judgment, are permitted at this time so long as the driver can demonstrate to technical inspectors that the purpose of the modification is to reduce distraction in the driver’s field of vision." -pretty much means its all still legal for Stock at least Last edited by Austin Ford; 10-27-2015 at 12:08 PM. |

Re: 2015 to 2016 NHRA Rule Changes
Does this mean you can now run bars to the front frame in Stock, or does it apply just to the C4 and C5 Corvette mentioned in the sentence that precedes it?
SECTION 10A: STOCK CARS, BODY:7, FIREWALL "Roll cage tubing may run across top or side of inner fender well/strut tower and attach to frame horn." |
