This is complete bull-- does anyone at nhra corporate have even the slimmest idea of what the hell they are doing??? this is a genuine screw job to anyone that abided by the new rules and installed a set of tethers, these people do not have the least concern for the racers---they probably didnt get their payoff so they changed the rules---i really can't believe the gaul of nhra

Ponder this ! If one can now fab a muffler/exh/collector hanger and that will pass the rules, then why in the hell can't he make his own teather . !

NHRA has really blown this !

just like we all needed new window nets before , and they changed there mind. how many bought new nets for no reason.

So we can build our own race cars. We can drive our race cars. We get the opportunity to pay the excess insurance charge at national events. We go thru tech inspection at every race, our seat belts and helmets are carefully checked to make certain they are in date. But somebody that does not have a clue in hell about racing decides we need teathers, no wait a minute maybe one half inch stitch weld, oh well maybe a muffler hanger will work. I am pretty certain when I first started racing my car had coat hanger wire holding the tailpipe up. It did require "a tool" to remove. So I hope that Calvin Elston does not mind coat hanger wire holding up that beautiful set of headers he built me.

My lowest priced tethers only sets me back about 2 dozen beers.

For all the controversy this topic has raised, I wonder if anybody asked Rod Boertman his opinion on the rule?

Didn't think so.
