Has anyone talked to NHRA about these belt rules ?

And WHY small OEM belts are fine for years ...and WHY the Air Forse on their fighter-jets have much longer "life" expectations ?



I have a problem with that as well.

My 40 year old belts are ok but as soon as I install a safer set of 3" belts they have to be chucked every three years regardless of use?

Madness.

I have a brand new trans blanket for the Reliant that has to be chucked and it is new in the box, just been sitting on the shelf for 8 years.

Just checked the rules- You have to send in a scattershield to be recertified every 5 years? [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean], its forged steel! I can see getting a flywheel checked out but an aftermarket forged steel bell?
