This is going to make the SS class very interesting:
Super Stock/MX An “EX” class will be added to accommodate All-Motor cars from the NHRA Sport Compact Series: EX – 11.50 or more pounds per cubic inch, Naturally aspirated, Methanol only, Front-wheel-drive only, Full-bodied http://www.nhra.com/content/news/33870.htm |

Good and bad I can see....but truthfully, long over due in my opinion.
Strange that in my low 10sec bracket Chevelle it appears I can still wear Zuba style pants, but in my mid 10sec Super Stock car I need SFI pants?!?! I think this is going to be an NHRA rule Troy, not just D5. I believe D5 just posted it first.

That can`t be right, SFI pants for Stockers from AA thru M/SA?!? A few years ago, even the A/S-A/SA cars didn`t even need a jacket!

Nope...it's 100% for real....I just talked to my SAC rep here in D5. It includes anyone running quicker than 11.49---regardless of class.

You guys got so excited about the pants, you missed the paragraph for Stock about valve size and stem diameter remaining but valve angle ,in parentheses, states that any valve angle may be used. .......I know the same thing was shown last year, only to be left as it had been for years, but this time it appears there is an emphisis shown on the change of angle. .....Maby one of the sportsman reps knows if this rule was on the table for change? ........Since my car has a 30 deg intake ,I am naturally interested if we will be able to make a change. ......Tom

This also may seam like a dumb question...under modified stock it says nhra accepted cylinder heads
for as,bs,cs. The original rule states cs must be iron inline heads. Are these rule changes just added to the paragraphs or are they rewritten. ss/cs 1613 newbie 1967 mustang |

They added pants and neck collar for SS 9.99 or quicker......But if you want to test at a local Bracket Race you have to have gloves too.

Were you running in Stock, or S/S 20 years ago? In my 2004 edition NHRA rulebook, for Stock, under section there is no mention of SFI jackets being required. Bracket cars running 11.99 & quicker have required the jackets for decades, but not for low 10 second Stockers until the past few years.The classes I mentioned were Stockers, NOT S/S cars.(or bracket cars.) However,for the past few years, my M/S Mustang is required to have a roll bar, 5 point harness, and I need to wear the SFI jacket when I run in Stock at a divisional or Nat`l event, but as a bracket car, none of that would be required.
