2009 Rule Changes

[Randall Klein]

Does anyone know the situation on engine diapers for S & SS?

[art leong]

On the SS/EX are they going to allow imports? Or will it be cars in the classification guide only (such as a Neon, Cobalt etc)?

Maybe I'm a ****tard, but I cannot find an accepted list of Fuel Injection systems on NHRA.com. ..I may just be looking too hard, but the website is getting more and more difficult to navigate..

"Electronic Fuel Injection: In classes where allowed, must be closed, OEM-type system; i.e., may monitor only engine functions. Monitoring of vehicle performance criteria, wheel speed, driveshaft speed, vehicle acceleration, etc. by fuel-injection system prohibited. All aftermarket OEM-type electronic fuel injection must be NHRA-accepted. A current list of NHRA-accepted electronic-fuel-injection systems is available on NHRA.com."

I seem to get annoyed when I get on their site, too much useless info on a cluttered homepage...I have to find what I want there quickly or else it makes me angry and I itch like an allergy or something...can someone send me the link please. Thanks. Have a great day, much love!

This also may seam like a dumb question...under modified stock it says nhra accepted cylinder heads
for as,bs,cs. The original rule states cs must be iron inline heads. Are these rule changes just added to the paragraphs or are they rewritten.

They added pants and neck collar for SS 9.99 or quicker......But if you want to test at a local Bracket Race you have to have gloves too.

Were you running in Stock, or S/S 20 years ago? In my 2004 edition NHRA rulebook, for Stock, under section there is no mention of SFI jackets being required. Bracket cars running 11.99 & quicker have required the jackets for decades, but not for low 10 second Stockers until the past few years.The classes I mentioned were Stockers, NOT S/S cars.(or bracket cars.) However,for the past few years, my M/S Mustang is required to have a roll bar, 5 point harness, and I need to wear the SFI jacket when I run in Stock at a divisional or Nat`l event, but as a bracket car, none of that would be required.

Rory In stock seat belts only required after 11.49.
Roll bar required for 11.49 or faster . Unless your car is 1.66 under the index you can use the belts that came in it . Look in the NHRA archives under Stock Nov. 2007 . Mike

Hey Fast Johnny...the rule also says no shorts underneath the pants along with tank tops etc.....so you better return em..Joe

Yes. Any car that ran in the All-Motor Class in the NHRA Compact Series, front-wheel drive, can run in the class.
