2008 rules changes

sstSteveM · 12-04-2007, 06:09 PM

ALLRIGHT......wings must be non-adjustable during the run.....whoever is running AILERONS on their car, let's see it, I want to see it. As a matter of fact, I want to see wings sprout out from under a Super Comp car and have it take off at the top end......now that would be cool.

At least my thrust reversers are still legal.

I do like rules promoting safety.....but can seem cumbersome like anything else

The funny part is that we have all this stuff that must be manditory for us to wear in S/G, Comp, S/C but last time I was at a divisional event early in 2007 Super Stockers or Stockers still could wear just a jacket with any kind of pants they wanted and no gloves and some of them are running in the mid 8's and some stockers are running Super Gas times. Go Figure....Don't worry Dave you can always come run some MASGA races with us in 08....

Techdept. in Georgia div.race this year told me and Bob Fuller that the Hans device was coming soon too in the sportsman classes.It'll be real hard to spin your head around with that on..

"And why dont all fast cars need a SFI diaper ( ooppps wait buy a SFI one but we fooled you it only has to be "approved")...Are you telling me that my 496 cube 155 mph SG car is more likely to spit out the rods than the DIV1 SST champs 555 cube 150+ mph SST car ? (he will say yes cause I built it myself !)"

You mean "is more likely to spit out the rods than" anybody with a larger cid. Thanks for the kiss of death buddy.

"And what the heck....now I have to make up a rube goldberge pipe to add to my portable 1K generator that I use to charge my batteries that sticks above my tailer ? Oh wait...will it need to be SFI certified ?"

Dave, just leave the 1K on the roof , end of story.

"By the way I can see the writing on the wall that we will all need a HANS some time soon, I'm not against them but its a pretty expensive deal for a low budget racer...wait will it need to be SFI approved (of course until after you buy it then no)..."

Good thing I dont have to turn my head

9.4 Generators

All generators, air compressors, etc., that are powered by an internal combustion engine must have the exhaust directed up and above the top of the trailer, truck, RV, tent/awning, etc.

This has to only apply to I would think or at least hope to onboard generators, you def would have to rube something up to make some of those generators out there fit the bill. Seems like NHRA may be thinking of going into the small generator exhaust business or has a piece of a company that does.

Moreover, how about a rule for those idiots who put their annoying generators in their neighbor's pit spot? Me and my uncle were about to kill one of our neighbors at the Dutch who kept his on constantly and was loud as hell. Oh yeah, and he moved it about 15 feet in front of his truck so it was only 20 feet from us since we were parked perpendicular. If you don't want to hear it, why do you think we do? Have some consideration for your fellow racers.
