You got to be kidding?

I'm no fan of scott lemen but you can't blame him for trying to make a buck. There's now a need and he's the first to offer an NHRA accepted tether. If you think you can do better, get them NHRA accepted and sell them for less, have at it.

Is there anyone else in this market yet? Looks like a little competition would be in order. The people on Yellow Bullet a having a blast with this.

I've talked to Lokar on several occasions as recently as 2 weeks ago---per LOKAR --- NO idea of pricing at this time ---no body has them if you do want to buy them--will be available later in the year but definately by 2014--k-y jelly comes as part of the installation kit--FED 387

I think I'm gonna look into going into the tether business tomorrow

That's the free market. I talked to Scott this weekend, and he revealed a little bit of what went into the development, manufacture, and acceptance of the product. While it does seem like a lot of money, anyone is more than welcome to throw their hat in the ring. I don't know anything about manufacturing, but I've sure learned a LOT over the past few years about event promotion that I never knew I didn't know.

Hopefully,they can afford to pay contingency if you win.$200????

Wouldn't surprise me. DRR pays contingency just on DECALS alone! Already been paid a couple times this year.

I wonder how much it costs to be NHRA "approved". This reminds me of mufflergate. Drag racing was going to be shut down. I guess race cars aren't loud anymore. Did something happen to bring this rule about. Can we screw the collectors on as long as we have tethers on the screws. I've lost a collector off the Nova and Camaro because the tabs break from being taken on and off, I put springs on and eliminated the problem.

I'll have mine welded I'm not paying for that. Probably have to be replaced every 2 years lol.

I think I will go this route also.At least we have all Winter.Lots of welders will be busy.

[Toby Lang]

Thing is, if you weld them on, will you be able to get the headers on and off easy?

[older racer]

how much weld will be required to please nhra tech? full welds or partial welds? this is nothing more than a rip off to the sportsman racer. mr lemon is lining his pockets, same as the diaper guy. at the racers expense!! enough is enough. those teathers don't need to be SFI approved. thats a crock!
