Sp, there's nothing in the NHRA rulebook about the legality of these bed covers at all, one way, or another?

You know, the druids have always stood behind a protective shield that went like this: "The rulebook is written in a "positive" manner. What that means is, if a modification is allowed, it will say so in the rulebook. In othe words, if it's not in there, then, it's not allowed."

I think that's no longer the case. They want to make it up as they go along... That gives them infinite flexibility.

Bill, do not take the rule book as if everything has to be engraved in stone. My view on the matter is that I believe it was an oversight on the part of NHRA and they forgot to include it in the rule book. The bed covers have been in the trucks since the class was created.
