Indexes are never put in the rule book. I'm guessing there will be another announcement relative to the new indexes. Jim

It has for fans anyway, it's always been on the back of the ticket.

Thanks, I thought they might be talking about photos, but see its really only about videos in the car. Just making it harder for Ken and Toby to get the great videos. Trying to keep regular folks from seeing how exciting wheels up racing is.

Larry Hawks car still fits A/SA B/SA & C/SA. No joke.

I see that the aftermarket automatic transmission cases will now be listed as legal for everyone, not just the Drag Paks and Cobra Jets. JW is getting ready to release a replacement for the TH-400.

[Mike Fuller]

The next sentence reads "NHRA-accepted adapter plates permitted". Does this mean that the bell housing on the 200 can be machined off and a SFI housing adapted to it?.

Apparently, one of the 2012 enhancements will be that "all" window nets will expire after 2 years. 2011 rules had an two year expiration term for the "mesh" type nets only; "ribbon" type nets did not expire.

I do not see anything about an expiration date.

"A SFI-27.1 ribbon-type or mesh-type window net is mandatory on any full-bodied car required by the rules to have a roll cage."

The only thing changed here is the placing of "SFI-27.1" in front of the wording "ribbon-type" and the deleting of the "SFI-27.1" in front of the words Mesh-Type. So now both "ribbon-type and "mesh-type" window nets must meet SFI-17.1 specs.
