The way I read it is OE for combo. They have been letting this slide for a long time. I was wondering when someone would complain. You know that is what happened. I also have been using the same one you use.

Re: What air cleaner base is NHRA Legal?
We've been told that an OEM or OEM-style air cleaner can be used, which means a K&N base is OK, but not the stub-stack. I'll venture a guess that a custom molded base doesn't fit some folks interpretation of what an "OEM" air cleaner should look like. There are a number of threads on air cleaners in the tech section that explain it much better than I can.

James, I think that tech guy that's bitchin' about your air filter base out in Chicago is a friend of Drooze's....You know, maybe it's payback time from you cranking on him and his efforts all the time.....ROFLMAO.....
 Just kidding, James....hope he does well w/your car out there....WJ

Re: What air cleaner base is NHRA Legal?
If it was not a crazy 16" air cleaner base or as what was said a custom made carbon fiber I don't see what is wrong with it? Just my worthless $.02. I (NHRA) would be more concerned about the underated cars that are not being looked at vs this.

Giving up ? Were going to add 2 cars to the game.....In addition to replacing the DP if it sells, if not well still add the other 2, only 1 will track this year if the DP dosent sell however. Do you really believe the "inventive" interpretation of things you "think" you read ? It explicitly said I wasnt giving up, rather going in deeper........Do you want people to actually believe what you say when you outright put blatant lies to this board ? Do you really think people are that gulliable ? James, my, you cant even leave me out of your own posts...... With so much bitterness, is it something personal , did I date your daughter, or niece or something ? If so I am sorry, they were forgettable and a I apologize. James, Incorrect about something ? From the air you purport you are without error, hence this must be the NHRA's fault right ? No culpability for yourself ? James since you offered me assistance with the scales and slip , I will offer in kind, we will have remedial reading lessons by Mandie at the Trailer at Norwalk, and an Advanced class on how to read a rulebook held later in the day, there is no charge...... Just doing what I can to offer the same type of help you offer
