One other thing worth noting. with a narrow dragster chassis we mounted the pump under/ off to the side of the oil pan. Must use a shallow pan.
If you want to see a photo, I'll have to dig around for one.

We run a Dart block w/ Brodex symmetrical style heads and a VHS dry sump system; blown application.
In the past we have used standard style heads while circulating Evans Coolant through the heads only by way of a VW Scirraco electric water pump.

I know that car. It should come with caution tape around it because it's dangerous (to the competition).

Bruce, your right now that I think about it.
Now that the class has dipped below the 6.00 barrier, what would the license requirement be?

Just saw that NHRA today has amended the rules for Nostalgia Eliminator and nitro is permitted.

No such luck for the Gassers.

Thanks for the clear explanation Van. That makes more sense.
Bruce, i believe an advanced ET license is good for quicker than 7.50. Van explained the driver didn't have one. Therefore, if he did, then they would have a ran A/F as they signed up for in the first place.

« on: February 26, 2019, 09:21:34 AM »For those of you who are interested; the past amendments have been combined and integrated into one package. One change of note based upon a controversy at last year's CHRR is that nitro is no longer permitted in the NE or Gasser classes.
What was the controversy with nitro? Just curious.
The previous rules stated that nitro was permitted in Nostalgia Eliminator and the Gasser Classes. (I have to find a copy in one of my flash drives). One new race team who was looking to run injected nitro in A/Fuel decided to step down to NE1 (I assume) to sort out their car at the Reunion. On Friday, they made one qualifying attempt with a heavy load of nitro. (Go to 8: 17:30 mark on the video below.)
Someone complained and tech went to them in the pits and through them out for the rest of the weekend. The team did not asked to review the rule book with the tech official right then and there and just accepted the ruling. It was only after the weekend back home did the racers review the rule book themselves and realize what it written and complained on Facebook. Eventually, they reached out to Division 7 Director Mike Rice, but never heard back.

As a die-hard door car racer, this is the one that gets me under Gas Eliminator Section 7:
BODY
Full-bodied vehicles: Must have full top and windshield. All full-bodied cars must have two driver exits. Four stock-production fenders mandatory, fiberglass duplicates permitted. Fenders may be trimmed for tire clearance; altered fenders must have edges re-rolled or beaded.
Am I misunderstanding the line about fenders, because some of the Pro Mod style cars don't fit the term "stock-production." At this point in time, why don't they eliminate the sentence.

Next question would be are you after coolness or functionality and more cost effective?
