if your collector has a tab welded to it and is secured by a bolt, isnt that more secure
than a NHRA approved "wire"? just my 2 cents..tks

Not in NHRA's mind...too many racers not checking their bolts, welded tab integrity, etc. and instances of others being injured.

The tether system is not intended to be what holds the collector on, it is a simple secondary (catch system) system to prevent the collector from coming off the car and cutting a tire, hitting a car or a person.
It's not what is better at this time, it is about what is required, meeting the requirement so you don't get sent back home by Tech.
