Ice on manifold
How close to the starting line do you have to remove ice bags? Same line that you can't change your dial?

Re: Ice on manifold
NHRA rule book says wet towels, rags, ice, etc. must be removed before vehicle leaves staging area. Found it in the General Rule section under fuel/air section 20, page 5.

Re: Ice on manifold
I don't see chillers in the lanes like I used to. Guys often do that someplace close to the staging lanes. One year at Indy, they parked myself and a friend on the right side of the "road" leading to the lanes, right at the end, a few feet from the end of the lanes. Morning of class we became very popular. Had guys wanting to park with us. That area got crowded, and wet. LOL

Re: Ice on manifold
I get it. Before leaving staging area??? Is staging area before the "pre-stage" light? Obviously that is a smart azz answer. Somewhere one has to remove ice??? Maybe before you are motioned up for burn out??
