This whole deal is a joke........ and a total lack of common sense ! Am I against teathers ....... no! I do see the need . Had a friend get hurt . But let's do this another way.... set a few different guide lines or methods has to how to install a back-up securing teather. And make the tech guys do their jobs and inspect. If it dosent pass..... bounce their butts.......
I and anyone out there can buy the same hardware as the approved kit supplers at a much less price. I don't get it ! My son is on the list of approved chassis builders, and he can't build me a set of tethers, I don't get it ! I sent in a pic of a set of collectors that had 1/4 button head bolts and nuts installed , one for each tube, and plus the orginal tabs and was told that this method would still need tethers. Really? and this was a NHRA Engineer . Where is this going to go ? I dont get it ! I have a vinyl lettering biz........ guess I need to submit to NHRA and get on an approved list ........ Then all you racers have to buy from me ! Another note, more info might be coming ..... Rick

Its called preventive maintenance, tethers are not truly needed. Some cars are sadly run with neglect to the basics. Just my 2 cents.

My question is what incident occurred to start this whole tether requirement? Sounds like to me the powers that be are treating the sympton and not going after the root cause. There are better more economical ways of dealing with this issue.

I think it was a long string of incidents that finally brought it to a head...been hearing of this for nearly 15 years now.

Sad that so many maintain their cars so poorly that the rest of us have to pay.
I'm not paying. Just welding. Screw it.
