Confused

[Tim Lisson]

I just read this posted on the tech section, then read it again, then one more time. My definition of leaving the "staging area" is when I'm paired to race before the water box. Now they say it's before the staging lanes but the rule says before the vehicle leaves the staging area...

Stock and Super Stock Staging lane Rule Reminder
This is a reminder to all Stock and Super Stock Racers that prior to reaching the head of the staging lanes all ice, towels, rags, etc must be removed per the 2014 NHRA Rulebook General Regulations, Section 20, page 5, Fuel /Air –

Fuel/Air: Any method of artificially cooling or heating fuel prohibited (i.e., cool cans, Freon, wet rags, etc.), except as noted in Class Requirements. Cool cans, wet towels, etc. are permitted in Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas, Super Street, and E.T. classes. Wet towels, rags, ice, etc. must be removed before vehicle leaves staging area. Ambient- temperature air only; cooling or otherwise changing the conditions of the intake air is prohibited. Spraying of intake with any artificial spray or coolant prohibited.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tim
