They'll give you a cup and you fill it. Doesn't matter from where. You will have to run divisional events to earn grade points before you can enter a national event. Class run offs are only held at selected national events (you can check on NHRA website to see which ones).

Bob Don, what do you mean by doesn't matter from where? The rulebook specifies that we have have to have a fuel sample valve under the hood. Taking it out of tank is a definite no no.

Anyone have a picture of one and where I can get one from?

Jeez. How about this. $8.95 at your local Ace Hardware:

What doesn't show in this picture behind the regulator, is the momentary starter button tapped into the fuel pump circuit.

Book says the valve has to be somewhere between the tank and carb/injector. You're right about the tank. Sorrry about that. Brain fart. (I'm old).
