I'm no longer an NHRA member, so I don't have access to the 2010 rulebook, but it used to say, ....as to performance equipment, it is the general rule that unless optional performance equipment or performance-related modification is specifically permitted by this Rulebook, it is prohibited.
THANK YOU ! That was EXACTLY what I was looking for a rule that SPECIFICALLY disallowed it, I will look to see if that , or a variant of it is still in there.
So unless you want to write to them and get express approval, which I doubt would happen, you'd just as well forget it.
If thats the case then it answers the side effect legality question, the real purpose wasnt for a "NHRA Legal" drag engine, it would have just been a nifty "side effect" Im still going to try it, like someone else said, if it fails it will fail in spectacular fashion
But thats a good point, I wouldnt even try if its disallowed by something similar to the rule you mentioned
Oh! It goes on to say that just because it may have passed through tech a number of times doesn't mean it's approved.
Been there, good advice.....something Ive seen before.
Thanks so very much, THATS what Ive been looking for this whole flippin thread that grew a life of its own having nothing to do with the original posts. Thanks.
