This is not the NHRA, and if it becomes like it I'll not compete anymore, and hard parts are not required to be replaced like them. If we had to replace items like trans shields, dampeners, flywheels, torque converters, starter ring gears, fire suits, Hans style devices, etc our competing would be a lot moe expensive.
I believe all manufacturers are in the back pocket of the NHRA or the other way around keeping the old time drag racers from competing. I also believe they are much harder on some parts but my 2 fire suits, a -15 and -20 are as good as new and there is no need for Recerts or replacements same with my Hans. Just an opinion..JD
