Guys that was amended 10/26/15 to section 10A, section 7 page 23 It is legal to run the bars thru the firewall on the inside or over the top of the inner fender .
However section 4 above it says its not , it has been legal since the start of this season. ....You know NHRA never makes mistakes in the rule book !
I double checked this with Dave Ley before I did any.

Tom, I looked at the published amendments from mid-2015 and all the publications since then and do not find what you are talking about. In fact, the 10/26/15 amendments are still on the NHRARacer.com site and I do not see that in the document there either.

"FIREWALL
"Alterations prohibited unless expressly permitted in this section. Firewall coverings prohibited.Where heater/air conditioning units have been removed, area must be covered with minimum .024-inch steel or .032- inch aluminum, including rear hood seal/flange, as on GM A-body. Minor firewall modifications permitted to C5 and C6 Corvettes for transmission installation. Roll cage tubing may run across top or side of inner fender well/strut tower and attach to frame horn. "

The last sentence has never been made clear (at least not to my knowledge). Does it apply to the corvettes or all stocker?

It applies to all Stockers.
