You are correct Karen. They reduced their $250 tethers to $200. Still twice the price as advertised above. Jim

Re: Theathers
 

I knew the price on these things would come down. Andrew priced the pieces out from a specialty hardware retailer and came up with $44, buying everything retail one at a time. NHRA now needs to let us buy our own pieces like we do with any other part that's not a Sfi part.

Re: Theathers
 

So the $80 weld on NHRA approved tether has tabs and a stainless steel braided string in between them.
Somebody want to explain to me how that is better than welded on tabs with bolts or springs between the tabs that is no longer NHRA legal? I thought the whole problem was tabs that break!
Obviously it's not about safety. :mad:

Re: Theathers
 

It is about safety. These are backups to the tabs breaking, bolts breaking, etc so it don't hit the rear tire and get slingshoted into the crowd, blow the tire and slingshot the car, and stuff like that. It is not supposed to replace the tabs, springs etc. And most of us have seen the things fly off. Easy off, easy on like the freeway. It's not as easy as it is to get the cap off of a beer bottle, or the tab off of a can, but almost. A little thether humor there.

Re: Theathers
 

Really NHRA I would think if someone calls their bluff with lawyers . They are done with this item. Just saying but I am not as old as Jeff. LOL

Re: Theathers
 

Will all the People who are making the Tethers have some form of liability insurance just in case something happens with their tethers ?? This is something for all to think about to cover your self against a lawsuit FYI

Re: Theathers
 

So You have a Theaters systems approved by NHRA. What happen when you are on starting line and you get hit by collector??! Who pays???

Re: Theathers
 

Hopefully the manufacturer has a liability insurance coverage to protect themselves

Re: Theathers
 

Why not NHRA their approval???

Re: Theathers
 

Apparently I'm qualified to cut, bend, and weld my own roll cage, but not qualified to assemble a few clamps with pre made lines. Literally exactly the same parts as included in these kits.
