Collector Tether Question

Ben Holt · 11-17-2013, 10:20 PM

I have not gotten a chance to look into it with much depth yet, but I know NHRA has released a list of the acceptable header tether systems for their new rule for 2014. Are there any of them that are paying contingencies for next year? I have quite a few customers that have asked us and I just haven't had time to mess with it yet.

Thanks in advance

Collector Tethers.com is not sure about the rest

I'm going to wait to see if Jeff Tueton gets his approved.
If not, I may just weld mine. I never the collectors off anyway.

I would wait and do some comparison shopping before buying any. It looks like many more are getting approved designs. The price is coming down as it really should. I have seen 59.99 and it will drop more I think. Their is no real trick to making them, so there should be some good deals to choose from soon.

LOKAR is paying contingency as well. They have also paid contingency on a dipstick.

Whom ever you pick, just make sure they are NHRA approved. There are several people out there just building their own, and selling them without being NHRA approved. You will not pass TECH.

NHRA keeps updating the list of approved ones, here's the latest approved product list, tethers on the last page. I see D2's own Keith Fulp has an approved tether available. Like the logo on his, should make it easy for tech to pass them without looking too hard.

Thanks for all the help! Looks like Lokar and Collector Tethers are the only ones that pay so far. That's honestly the most important part to some of my guys, the contingency.

Does the tether rule also include bracket cars running local tracks?
