2008 rules changes

Henry S · 12-04-2007, 10:35 AM

new rules changes posted on the NHRA division 5 website for 2008. of note is Super Street with oil retention devices? Super Gas and Super Comp under data recorder list 'no drivetrain sensors' What does that mean? Does it mean no fuel pressure, oil pressure, trans temp or trans pressure sensors? Here is the link.

Hey Henry

It says Super Street MAY use.... it is not mandatory.
I think they mean a drive shaft sensor.

but is it mandatory for any car over 135?

The rules listed are too vague. Why have a diaper on a 126 mph Super gas car but not require one on a tube chassis 632 cubic inch 160 mph Super street car? As far as drivetrain sensors, if driveshaft sensors are allowed on ET cars why not the Super catagory cars? The rule lists drivetrain sensors. These could be interpreted as anything in the drivetrain from engine to shock sensors.

They made us take our driveshaft sensors out for the 5-day bracket race in Bradenton, an NHRA sanctioned track.

(The rule lists drivetrain sensors.) AKA counters! The drive shaft sensor can be use with the ignition timing to retard or advance, or speed up or slow down the car(ET)
