That's right,dumb us down a little more.Remember ERC?How much a gallon?Just use common sense at fuel check.
Maybe no weight check either.Or helmets and pants.It's too hot in the car.

Ed do you wear pants in your T/SA?

Remember! NHRA hates dealing with all of this SS and Stock complication dragging/slowing them down. They just want to run a SHOW and make money without having us cost them money. They're looking at TD and TS and thinking wow no legality complaints with this hood or that hood, no fuel check and unlimited rules motors. That means less money out of the NHRA's pocket if they don't have to police these things. There is nothing worse than complaints about him/her being too fast too slow. Damn it it's a bracket race no matter how you slice it................................................ ..

Allowing for 20-30 dollar a gallon gas is not going to help anything, especially now.

Ed , You got the holeshot on me about the ERC.

ed ... NOW you will NEVER sell your car, no-one will take a chance on that drivers seat !

as far as fuel check... he is right, and an explosion is only a little poor luck away... not to mention the checker sitting beside a jug of mixed fuels... geez fume alone will kill ya...

so just sick OSHA on NHRA and shazaam there will be rules changes...someone with intelligence (not me of course) should be able to figure this one out

Jack,having an AMC car is like having old luggage.You just can't get rid of it.If grounding the car is a solution they
(NHRA) can hire a monkey to clip a grounded wire to the cars at the lug nuts.Only one car at a time or more than one monkey.The fuel check guy is on his own.
Seriously a good friend had his car toasted at fuel check.Not a spark condition but none the less very dangerous and ulitmately expensive afterwards.
Someone mentioned not having the fuel pump on when drawing fuel.Is there another way to draw fuel without the pump on if your fuel valve is in the engine compartment?

I wasn't offended,I just didn't understand it.Terry,I usually wear shorts then slip pants over them.You
wouldn't want to see me without pants.Actually all I need is a good helmet and I use 3" wide laps.No roll bar in the car.Might think of putting one in though.Some A/AA cars come past me 40MHP faster than me.And I get pissed at myself for not closing it up at the stripe.Go figure.
