New flywheel rule
Has NHRA come with a defined breakdown of the rule on flywheels (flexplates) other than all v8 stock and superstock.

Re: New flywheel rule
Hi Glen! NHRA's concern with these flexplates involves the starter ring gear flying apart. Now in the real world where people understand and realize what they're talking about and making rules for, if I need an SFI approved flexplate to ensure that my starter ring gear isn't going to break off and hurt a spectator then you and any other Mopar SHOULD have an SFI approved torque converter!

Re: New flywheel rule
Talked to R. Silvy in NHRA tech dept. he said the stock/superstock commitee made the rule for flywheel(ring gear) . He said nothing he can do about it.I can submit a Email to him and he would pass it on .Also by rule book , superstreet is not required to have 29.1 flexplate. That is a 10.90 class. He would not give me any other people to talk to. Not a good system.

Common sense would dictate that a "safety" ruling such as this would be based on E.T., not Class. |
Re: New flywheel rule
My point also. What are mopar guys going to do ,the ring gear is part of torque coverter, and I can't find a sfi 29.1 torque converter.

Re: New flywheel rule
Mopars don’t rev high enough to break off the starter ring gear!
