NHRA Tether Rule Update

This is a real rip-off!,seeing that there now allowing a 1/2" stitch weld on ea. pri. tube. Why not allow a tab on every tube, this would allow the header to be R/R on cars where the tube goes over the frame, as of now the only option is the tether on those cars.In 40 years I have not seen or heard of an actual collector fall off, only the extension that some guys try to hammer/swedge on.I can see this as maybe being a concern on a NO2 or turbo car, where it might back fire and blow the header to sh#@.
