"...year and model claimed..." NHRA rule book, P.110 : Must have full factory-type upholstry, including factory-type floor mats or carpet, door panels and headliner, and front and rear seats. Interior gutting prohibited. Driver's seat tracks may be bolted down. Sun visors optional. Reat seat may be removed when roll bar is installed; area must be carpeted or upholstered equivalent to factory specifications (no bare paneling). Where is the "...year and model claimed..." found? It's not in the 2009 rule book, was there a change in 2010? My '64 Savoy came with bench seats but the Hemi version of the same car came with light weight buckets BUT my Savoy is the same year and model.....does that mean I can run the Bostrom light weight bucket seats? The rule doesn't say anything about which engine the car has only that it must have full factory type upholstery. JimR

Jim, the photo below is right out of the 2010 rules book.
On a side note you can see it says removable steering wheels permitted, of which I have one. You can have one as small as a 11 inches in diameter. Man, that's not even close to being stock looking, I guess we should get rid of that rule. |

JimR [/QUOTE]Jim, the rulebook section was changed via an amendment dated April 15, 2010. According to the amendment, it says "Model", therefore it can be interpreted that it applies to all Savoys models. ![]() |
