Re: Tube bars out to front frame on a mopar?
Hi,
The rule had always been.......... Nothing through the firewall...... I don't think that it would change because a cage was the car..... A K/SA can run a cage if desired...... Just making Stock into Super Stock and Super Stock into Comp.... Bob

Re: Tube bars out to front frame on a mopar?
Guys that was amended 10/26/15 to section 10A, section 7 page 23 It is legal to run the bars thru the firewall on the inside or over the top of the inner fender .
However section 4 above it says its not , it has been legal since the start of this season. ....You know NHRA never makes mistakes in the rule book ! I double checked this with Dave Ley before I did any.

Tom, I looked at the published amendments from mid-2015 and all the publications since then and do not find what you are talking about. In fact, the 10/26/15 amendments are still on the NHRARacer.com site and I do not see that in the document there either.

Here it is
SECTION 10A: STOCK CARS, BODY:7, FIREWALL (Page 10) (10/26/2015) Alterations prohibited unless expressly permitted in this section. Firewall coverings prohibited. Where heater/air conditioning units have been removed, area must be covered with minimum .024- inch steel or .032-inch aluminum, including rear hood seal/flange, as on GM A-body. Minor firewall modifications permitted to C5 and C6 Corvettes for transmission installation. Roll cage tubing may run across top or side of inner fender well/strut tower and attach to frame horn. See General Regulations 7:4. |

Ahhh! I was stopping at the Roll Bar Section; did not read the Firewall Section. I stand corrected.

Re: Tube bars out to front frame on a mopar?
Anyone want to guess why that rule was changed, and who for?
