Heard a rumor that the 2005 NHRA rulebook may include an ET Break change from 11.99 to 11.50 to be consistant with the new Pure Stock class. Anyone else here anything?

 

Yeah I heard that too, I'm pretty sure its true.

 

It's true:

so now you can run an 11.49(or slower) in the 1/4 and still not need a roll bar? did i read that right? so they chopped off the old time of 11.99

 

That's how I read it... Find out soon enough after the first of the year when I go to the track again Still going to put a roll bar in since a bigger engine is going in the car.

 

i already got mine in too, just to be safe.

 

More than a few track owners are not thrilled with the rule change. I would not be suprised if some tracks will still go by the 04 rule. E-town in NJ is 1 track rumored to stay w/11.99 rule. I hope the 11.49 rule IS widely accepted. No Roll bar for me.

 

I also wonder how many guys will be affected by the crank centerline rule.

 

i certainly like having the rollbar in there.. makes me feel a lot better about driving next to some tool.

 

The what?

Primarily for trucks.

They're limiting how high off the ground the crank centerline can be. The faster you go, the closer it has to be to the ground.

Nothing you should have to worry about.

 

Oh Jeez..
