Re: Lifter rule in Stock
I've been trying to figure out for years why NHRA requires the master switch to be on the positive cable. It should be on the negative cable. It would be much safer and easier. No battery ground and everything will be killed. Somebody please explain to me why I'm wrong.

If there is an accident and the positive and negative crushed would still have a short and you have not addressed the issue of protecting both the front and rear batteries............ If wanted you could control the front battery with a constant duty rely....... Sorry I hijacked thisthread.... Bob

Hi, They should allow a maximum of 2 batteries and allow them to be located in the trunk for safety reasons, much the same that was done to allow.............. Front disc brakes...... Aluminum seats.......... Roller rocker arms.... Solid rear axles in IRS cars....... Aftermarket rods, pistons and valve train..... Full cages that extend through the firewall......... I am still trying to figure out the safety advantage of an aluminum radiator... I could go on and on about the STOCK rule changes for safety, but I will stop now.......... Bob

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
Sorry on hijacking this thread but when did NHRA allow aluminum radiators as replacement? I have been out of racing for a while!

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
The Safety people at the track would know that all door cars have their battterys in the back and controlled by the master cutoff switch.
