Online Rulebook

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Hmmm.....I had to think about that for a minute, but I like that, I can load it on my Phone, its a PDA style Motorola, thats a good idea....

Not like I wont still get a paper copy but I end up buying a couple anyway, between losing them, dunking them in degreaser as they fall from my shirt pocket.....etc. (Ive caught one on fire by accident once...) So have I with my phones as well but those are insured

There are a couple things about it however. First, its not the best pdf. If you could click the section in the table of contents and it would move to the page its on it would be alot better. It would be a lot better if it at least had the page number next to section.

Also, of course this was a cost savings for NHRA, that we will never see.

I am becoming a little jaded like the old guys since I started actively reading this forum ha.

Would anyone be willing to send me the PDF version via email, I am planning on building another class car and I want to know what I might be getting into.

You must also be an NHRA member to reside in the U.S.

I am currently not a NHRA member, just looking for the copy of the book as an aid in building the car. If someone is willing to send me the PDF file it would be greatly appreciated.

Become a member like the rest of us and pay for the rule book.

the following is on the NHRA website where you access the PDF file:

"IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. BY USING THIS SITE YOU AGREE:

I might add that being able to talk with the Division Tech Directors is also very valuable if you are building a car. There will almost certainly be decision points that are not completely clear in the written rules.

Personally, I like having the rulebook online and in a PDF format. Works better for me. But a lot of people do not like it this way. They should give each racer the option.

I'm with Lee on this one. I like having it as I can almost always access a computer if I'm off somewhere and need to look at something and I have it downloaded as PDF file on all three computers I use(work, home and shop). I can also keep and print just what I need instead of having to keep up with a dang book. JMT.

Exactly. Nowadays I pretty much don't leave the house without a laptop. I keep a copy of the IHRA book on there as well as on my iPhone. Much easier for me as I practically live the computer with business, forums, and EFI tuning.

Now. Just to get my hands on the pesky NHRA book before I get my membership again later this year.
