Thanks to John D (and the SRAC) for tirelessly working to get this done...His approach and professionalism allowed him to finally get this rule changed...below was pasted in from the rules update on NHRARACER.com

routed outside the framerail, or enclosed in a 16-inch length of 1/8-inch minimum wall thickness steel tubing securely mounted where line(s) pass the flywheel bellhousing area and not routed in the driveline tunnel. All brake lines must be attached to chassis as per OEM style; hoses must have mounting brackets; no tie wraps, tape, etc. All brake lines on any rear-engine car must be protected inside of tubing or be braided steel construction where they pass the engine. All pedals must be covered with non-skid material.

Secondary braking systems are permitted.

. NHRA-accepted hand controls for the physically challenged permitted. Automated braking systems prohibited; application and release of brakes must be a direct function of the driver; electronics, pneumatics, or any other device may in no way affect or assist brake operation. NHRA-accepted mechanical ABS systems permitted in all classes; contact NHRA Technical Department headquarters. If brake system includes a differential pressure switch, line-loc installed on front brakes must have solenoid installed after the differential switch. All line-locs (electric or hydraulic) must be self-returning to normal brake operating mode.
