If collectors are bolted to cross member, would that satisfy requirement?

And there's the X-pipe systems that are hung via a hanger set up to the car itself. Just consider how many things have to fail for a collector to come off that setup.

And please remember that some of us still try to squeeze out a little bit with primary extensions if required in certain situations. Also welding on some coatings will fail even when the surface is ground to clean metal. Embrittlement or something similar.
I'm not particularly fond of having a collector on a wire flopping around under my car possibly puncturing a front tire or severing a brake line or igniting my oil soaked engine diaper from sparks flying etc. etc.

Any news from SRAC meeting regarding rule changes?

Jeff Teuton · 10-17-2013, 10:07 PM

Basically not a lot of objection from the racers according to the members, just lots of objection to the price. I have a local source that can make those things. I'm going to send NHRA a set and get it approved. Will be cheap. How about Cajun Connectors for the Collectors? Nice ring.

Discussion point (#23) was about fuel/weight check after heads up runs (only heads up discussed).How about ALL semi and final rounds???????Oh I forgot the scales and fuel check equipment are already closed/dismantled at that point.Something about Miller time I think.
