Window Net Rule

CBS · 03-05-2012, 05:45 PM

The latest Rules Updates states that the Window Net rule for 7.50 and slower cars will remain the same as it has been. In other words, you don't have to cert it every 2 years....
Like it has been in the past....

SECTION 20: GENERAL REGULATIONS, INTERIOR: 6, WINDOW NET (Page 29) (3/5/2012) An SFI 27.1 ribbon-type or mesh-type window net is mandatory on any full-bodied car required by the rules to have a roll cage. An SFI 27.1 ribbon-type or mesh-type window net is mandatory on any full-bodied car running 7.49 (*4.49) or quicker. For full-bodied cars running 7.50 (*4.50) to 9.99 (*6.39) or if vehicle runs 135 mph or faster a ribbon-type or SFI 27.1 mesh-type window net is mandatory unless otherwise specified by class requirements. SFI 27.1 window net, when required, must be updated at two-year intervals from the date of manufacture. Window net must be securely mounted on the inside of the roll cage, with the permanent attachment at the bottom. All attachment points must be designed in an attempt to protect the driver and avoid contact with track surface or guardwall. Eyelet clips, dogleash hardware, hose clamps, etc. prohibited. Penetration of webbing, except as performed by manufacturer, prohibited. Any modification to net must be performed by manufacturer.

I just checked again, from what I'm reading in the 2011 to 2012 NHRA rule book amendments, on page 60
27.1 Window Net (Mesh)............................................ .................2 years
Mesh is struck through, meaning all 27.1 window nets.
Maybe I'm reading to much into it.

Talked to a tech guy @ the gatornationals today & he said there are 14 pages of changes to the 2012 rule book. One of the changes is your old window net is good. You do not have to update the net every 2 yrs unless your car runs faster than 7.50. So super stock cars don't need to change the net.

Wonder how many they sold for their advertisers before they caught that error?
I am sure their mindset is: It's only $50.00 or so, these racers have money, who cares.
Getting easy to see why the pits are less full, the stands are basically empty and NHRA is digging a deep hole for themselves. Total lack of Customer Service or even the knowledge of how to deal with it,
