5.5 lb Super Stock class…

I found nothing in there about diapers or belly pans on Super Stock cars...

The camera/video rights section caught my attention, as well as substance abuse policy now being more in line with what most employees working for a company already abide by.

Stock still 1955 or newer to put that BS to bed.

Where in the rules does it talk about the camera/video right? I'm an amateur photographer that takes a lot of Sportsman pictures and gives them away to the drivers. I'd like to know if I have any rights/

See page 58 of the amendments, apparently NHRA has rights to video taken....

Apparently, one of the 2012 enhancements will be that "all" window nets will expire after 2 years. 2011 rules had an two year expiration term for the "mesh" type nets only; "ribbon" type nets did not expire.

I do not see anything about an expiration date.

"A SFI-27.1 ribbon-type or mesh-type window net is mandatory on any full-bodied car required by the rules to have a roll cage."

The only thing changed here is the placing of "SFI-27.1" in front of the wording "ribbon-type" and the deleting of the "SFI-27.1" in front of the words Mesh-Type. So now both "ribbon-type and "mesh-type" window nets must meet SFI-17.1 specs.

look at the last page that list the expiration dates on all safety equipment. it shows 2 years on nets.

You know I wondered how long it would take for these folks to find 1 more thing for us to spend our money on. Guess buying a new window net every 2 years won't break the bank but where does it end? Heck we've got the local circle track racers buying our outdated belts to run....they have no time limit rules, guess they're alot less likely to crash.
