what they said...

Quote:

The NHRA Technical Department will not accept Tethering System requests from individual racers, as this will inundate our resources and create an impossible situation to regulate in the field. Therefore, material sent from individual racers will not be reviewed for acceptance. Only legitimate manufacturers planning to market a tethering system should submit a request.





what they really meant...

i've been losing interest in racing to begin with and a little voice in the back of my head tells me spending over $200 for 4 hose clamps and a 20" of cable is not something i'm willing to do on principal

I don't see any marking of anyway to tell where they come from.

IE: Serial Numbers, Company Logos or SFI /NHRA approval stamp.

That being said, make your own.

No more than $50 in parts there.

There is a small anodized aluminum tube on one end of the cable assembly that says "Collector Tethers" and "NHRA Approved" in very small laser etched font. Nobody will ever see this while teching the cars.

NHRA is probably going to put a "penalty" in place if your collectors fall off and they find out you didn't have these.

Meh, two stainless steel tabs, a section of wire rope with eyelets, a couple D-rings, maybe a turnbuckle. Maybe $50 if you're buying from a Gucci store.

All that said, is this really an issue? Your crap falls apart, how about the victimized party beats your a** in the pits? S/F....Ken M
