2011 Rule Book Amendments

Chris...that would give you twice the brakes...the idea is to have 2 systems in case one fails...twice the brakes improves the chances of locking up if hit too hard...all of us who have this set-up would just like an explanation from NHRA as to why this such a problem. I feel they are making my car less safe!!

What happens if you do a burnout longer then 5 seconds?

In order to move the classes along so Alcohol may have its alloted time added to offset oil cleanup, NHRA has decided to enforce it 5 second burnout policy, any person doing a burnout for more than 5 seconds will be forced to install a secondary timer to control this issue.

I not happy about the handbrake rule.....they are 2 independent systems....they don't need to be connected.....Danny had a problem with this for some reason.....I'm not sure what their goal was....the foot pedal is much more aggressive than the handbrake....the sportsman advisory council unanimously approved it....

So I remove my hand brake operated set of brakes to satisfy Danny Gracia. Since my second set was added after the car was initially built the 2 sets can't be tied together. The master cylinders are nowhere near each other.

One day I am racing at xyz dragstrip and my brake pedal goes to the floor as I attempt to stop. I pull my chute as fast as I can but hit the end of the track at 50+ mph......My car is destroyed, I am injured, maybe badly or worse...

If my second set of brakes was still in the car I stopped fine with no problem. Ask any racer who has experienced this exact scenario if they would have liked to have a second set of brakes....

This is theoretical of course but it is easy to see it could and has happened.

Makes no sense to me at all....
