NHRA rear wheels sfi specs....

MR DERBY CITY · 04-26-2019, 12:27 AM

So for 2020 in stock eliminator ....do our rear wheels need a sfi 15.1 or 15.3 sticker attached to the wheel....asking for a friend.....

Well, the way I'm reading it, if the wheel originally carried an SFI 15:1, 15:2, 15:3 cert. then it will need the SFI tag and will need to be re-certed when needed. For Stock.
I don't know just what wheels are going to be affected.

MJ, it appears if they were originally certified, they will need the sticker, if they weren't certified, they won't. How that relates to safety escapes me.
Make sure you tell you friend...........

Maybe this is for the factory shootout and fs cars ?
They are going in the 7 second range

What it means is you can not remove the sfi sticker found on most racing wheels. If I doesn't have one then it doesn't need one. Some classes are required to have a certain sfi spec wheel. No changes other than the sticker must be present if its certified. No wheels we( stock eliminator) would use are required to be recertified. Carry on

I hope this applies to cars that need SFI wheels since I just peeled mine off.

Barrels got powdercoated so ill have to send them back to recert if its an issue.
Edit... they won't recert a wheel thats been coated.

The SFI stickers on my transmission came off so I’d just bring them to tech taped to a card, never had s problem. Mater of fact I just had the case re certified and that’s how they sent the new stickers.
