Race Issues...

[Sharx]

I would also like to see the secondary brake rule fixed. I don't have a SC dragster, but the same rule trickles down to my daughters Jr. M&M built it with dual brakes and a handle. And we like it for the safety aspect as well as using it with a velcro latch that allows it to be used as a parking brake so she can get out of the car without it wanting to roll away. As junior racers we don't have a sportsman advocate. We just have to listen to the seven member panel that, don't race Jrs, or ever had kids that did make rules on stuff they admit they know very little about. And when we ask questions they don't even respond to us... I know hard to believe!

In regard to the 18 year old rule.

As not to overload Rock, I sent NHRA a e-mail about the rule.

Read the following; My question is after their reply..............

But anyway...................I DON"T GET IT !!!

Rick,



We are mandated by our insurance company on the age restriction.

Hello, my question is in regard the entry age for a National event. I know at this time it is min. 18 years of age.



However, with the Tobacco industries no longer involved with NHRA, this rule appeares to be redundant.



Can this rule be changed to a lisensed driver once again.





Thank-You

But they can race at a divisional or bracket race? And I bet it's the same K&K Insurance that it has been for the last 40 years. Look at the bright side, they responded. More than we got.
