I am aware of the accepted list and who's on it. Likewise, the accepted list was part of the NHRA packet.

However, currently............ IN DIV 5.......per Bob..........
Only those systems with etched and/or engraved clamps AND cables will be accepted. Clamps, such as the ones in a Lokar kit, which are labeled Ideal, will not be accepted.

Like I said, this information can be discarded if you wish. I'm just trying to keep my fellow Div 5 racers from showing up at their first Div 5 race and then told their system is not acceptable.

I wouldn't be one to suggest you flood Bob's office with phone calls or emails. But if you have ever been through tech in Div 5, you'll know it's better to follow the rules than ask for forgiveness.

I have sent an email to NHRA tech to have them clarify this latest info. That is where the question should be directed. I will post the reply as soon as I receive one.

This whole deal is a bit bizarre. Whether you think the rule is BS or not, it's a rule. There's lots of BS rules, ie: belts every 2 years. Moreover, we all pay $310 to enter a race that pays $1500 to win. You want to talk about retarded?

I bought mine from Collector Tethers. Yep, $149 each, and I needed 4 sets. Good times. But you know what, its a very nice product and they stepped up to pay contingency money. I don't plan on even running points meets this year, but just the fact that they are supporting us made the decision an easy one for me.

With all of the money that we collectively light on fire, we're going to get all in a knot over this? I can bitch a lot harder about lots of other things! And if you'll excuse me now, there's snow that needs to be plowed, lol.
