Now for a history lesson. The following is copied word for word from the oldest NHRA rulebook that I own, the 1961 NHRA rulebook; "The Competition and Safety Regulations contained in this book are presented in a POSITIVE MANNER; that is, whenever possible each permissible option or class requirement has been listed. UNLESS THE CLASS REQUIREMENT OR SAFETY REGULATIONS SPECIFICALLY STATE THAT A MODIFICATION OR OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT IS PERMISSIBLE, IT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED." With this I can only verify that this statement is at least fifty years old. Beyond that, I cannot say. (Disclaimer: Opinions expressed by me on this forum are exactly that, my opinions.) |

Re: Is this legal?
It is still there Ed. It now refers to "optional performance equipment or performance-related modification."
In the 2011 NHRA Rulebook, see the third paragraph in HOW TO USE THIS RULEBOOK on page xv in the front of the book. (Disclaimer: Opinions expressed by me on this forum are exactly that, my opinions.) P.S. This is a good time to also to point out another paragraph in that section of the NHRA rulebook. It states on page xvi as follows; "Unauthorized cars, parts, and/or equipment will not be considered approved by reason of having passed through technical inspection at any time, or any number of times. Moreover, having passed through technical inspection at any time, or any number of times, is not a defense to a violation found on further inspection." |

It reminds me of the Evan Smith article in National Dragster when he installed an aluminium chunk in his 9".

Re: Is this legal?
FWIW (Not Much)
Back a few years when starting the build on my Camaro looked into this. Spoke to S&W was told the anti-roll bar was approved, had to remove the stock fuel tank. At that time did not want a fuel cell and was more interested in what AppleTree Engineering offered. http://www.swracecars.com/store/Anti...25=40-613.aspx The ad seems to assure/infer that it is approved for Stock. Would think that with this thread and comments from tech officials Scott would be looking into this. Am sure he would not want to put any of his customers in jeopardy.
