Well if you look close in any of espn 's broadcast you will see that on both sides in the last set of the stands are blacked out

Carey, I was just thinking, just use those tethers that Johnny Gray used a month ago out west, they sure did the job.

Cary, I'm still trying to figure out how the tech guy saw how big a hole you had behind your flywheel. Did you go to tech with the transmission and floor pan removed?

I think NHRA has bigger issues to worry about than an inch of clearance on a crankshaft by the scatter shield, With the RPM that Honda will buzz I don't think anything that explodes in the can will be heading inward, at least not according to the law of physics. NHRA made a class for the car, don't punish him for showing up. Don Jackson

I guess if you have a 10,000hp Funny car you don't have to abide by this rule.

Carey, Nhra may be cracking down on transmission certified products. I believe there maybe a mandate out there right now to look hard at transmissions and certs. At the atco divisional recently a Super street racer failed tech for transmission sheild cert. Think about how hard it is to check the cert on a super street car, most are full body cars, and it would be very hard to check, but they did and car failed tech. There was also a instance of another 4 cylinder car in comp that had a adapter fail. So maybe they have decided to check real hard, hope they were not picking on you. and remember there are many things that sometimes do not make sense but you have to decide if you want to live by their rules or not.
