New Rule Revision For Stock and S/S

[Mike Delahanty]

At Indy I observed a class car with a 9.9something dial get stopped at the staring line during eliminations and the starter opened the door and asked where the drivers gloves were. The dial was immediately changed to 10.00 by the starter to the tower and the car allowed to run.

We are all big boys and girls. Shame on us for not complying with the rules.

No neck collars, no window nets, no gloves, open face helmets, and less than sfi/5 jackets and pants. This included factory shoot out cars,stockers,and AH Hemis. So now NHRA wants to worry about a passenger seat that nobody rides in ..... how about some competent tech persons / observers !

Well, Mr. carbuilder,
The way I see it is you just might have to talk your customers into building 68 Camaros from now on.
Put your headrests on the roll bars, and they're good to go.

No seat is called bracket racing and you should know that.

What good does it do to quote a book full of "rules" that change from division to division, official to official and day to day and is most likely to be interpreted by who gave who a little brown envelope or who bought who dinner last night?

We're not allowed to get political. BUT, we are dealing with an organization that makes it's headquarters in southern California when it owns perfectly good property in Indiana.

The main reason for this is Indiana has chiggers. California does not.

The less the Rules are adhered to, the less there is integrity in Stock/Superstock which most of the racers running the class enjoy about it. As for running stock style seats...I recently hit the wall @ 120MPH with stock style seats in my SST car, I will never sit in anything but aftermarket safety seats again.
