Suspension Notice for S/SS by NHRA

I put a call in today to a NHRA tech guy to help clarify what is meant by the wording in the post. I do not believe it is a worry to the GM cars, but could effect the Fords and Mopars with the front strut rods. Remember how an old Mopar would shimmy the front tires on lauch sometimes, that is what will happen again if this rule is enforced. The front strut rod has to be secured and stable for the car to run safely, especially at 150 plus MPH. This will not happen with the old Mopar setup, a long rod with two rubber bushings trying to hold it steady. Dyno
