Stocker Heater Controls and one other questions

Ross Family Racing · 07-26-2010, 08:05 PM

Does NHRA push the required heater controls or can you use that area for gauges,ect?
As I also read the rules does the battery in the front have to be the same size as the trunk mounted battery? Thanks

its kind of a grey area on some of the cars that have the controls in the center consoles though (82-92 camaro, 68-82 corvette, etc)

hey, along the same lines, do you have to have a radio in the car?
what about a radio delete plate?
does it have to be oem ?
or can a guy mount guages in it's place?

I mounted switches where the radio goes. Never been questioned.

Torn down at Indy. Not a problem:

Notice what looks like full heater controls. Again ,it's all an illusion.
There's a few pounds back there .

A few pounds out here, a few there, pretty soon inside your trunk will look look this:
