SRAC Meeting
 

As announced on NHRA, there will be a conference call meeting of the S/SS committee on Oct. 17. Any racer can send me an email about anything they think needs attention. Someone posted about the aluminum radiators, and I thought that was done, but I will find out before that date. I am Div 4 rep, and your reps are listed on NHRA. I have heard from several Hemi racers and I am still not sure what the ruling is on the heads for next year. I know what Stephen Hebert, Lloyd Worford, and Lil Joe think already. Any and all other topics are open game. jefft@southlanddodge.com or PM me here.

No, the picture at the Post Office only had you in it, lol.

Jeff,

I was the person wondering about aluminum radiators. They were still enforcing the old rule as late as the Charlotte race this Fall, so I don't think it was a done deal - at least not for the balance of 2013. See what you can find out please...

I believe my rep is Jeff Taylor for D3...but have no way of contacting him.

Header tethers!

Is there another option with nut/bolt/kotter pin (was discussed on here at some point), that's more cost effective then tethers.

Re: SRAC Meeting
 

Tim, I sent NHRA an email about the radiators. Will keep everyone informed. Also someone send me pictures or locations on these theather things. I bet I can have them made in quantity cheap by a friend who makes cables & slings for the oilfield. Also a beer drinking friend who goes to Indy with me.

Re: SRAC Meeting
 

Jeff, how about asking them to amend the "2014 Header Collector ruling" from "1" of stitch weld on each tube" to include "or minimum 2 fully welded tubes on each collector and tab and bolt on remaining slip-fit tubes". That should make it possible to remove the headers on some of these cars as welding all 4 tubes might make it not possible on some cars.

Re: SRAC Meeting
 

My headers tubes are bolted together with the straps and the collecters are bolted to the cross member. Have not got lose in 3 years.
