Mr. CBS, is the SRAC, still active? Maybe if it is, this would be a idea that should be brought up with the association, in that a 7.90 class maybe a thing to look into. Seems like there is some interest. Also, when you ask about the 7.90, try and see if they can get the re certification of the window nets move back to at least 5 years. The people I talked to at the association, stated, that they did not have any warning or advance notice and don't have a clue of why it is at two years.

Talking Re: Time to Revisit the Super Times?

Never had to replace or recertify a window net since I've been racing. never even had it looked at. Why don't we put all the classes together and hand out shoe polish, oh wait , that's been done, forever.
I got the beer, dos vettes, come on over Rock

Unless you have a mesh style window net, they don't expire. The ribbon type (most common) are good forever. Or until they fall apart. I have argued this with a couple of tech officials. It's right there in the rule book.

It appears I stand corrected. They must have changed that, because it used to only be for mesh type. I actually had that pointed out to me when getting my chassis certified. He told me I didn't have to worry about my net since it was the ribbon style. But that was a few years ago. I checked the new rule book at it does appear it's been changed. If anyone knows different, let me know.

I did look at the quick reference card NHRA sent out and it clearly reads "mesh type" window nets. It does not reference ribbon type.
