... for the fabulous locking dipstick rule? i run at a high altitude eighth mile track which slows the car down quite a bit. she runs 7.00. she ain't never gone into the sixes (8th). i never did find the data in the highly informative (vastly improved, i might add) on line rule nhra rulebook.


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

They all need a locking trans dipstick, speed doesn't matter ..

All cars running 10.99 (*6.99) seconds and quicker must have an
NHRA-accepted locking-type dipstick on the transmission.

Right out of the 2010 Bible

Looks like you get to save a couple a bucks

I went with a GM one from a 92 truck.
Haven't been to a track yet to see if "the Gods" will pass it!
I like the $10.00 price better than the $50.00 one!
I would like to think that there would be more crucial areas to be of concern in tech besides this.
