If you have a NHRA number/membership, it's even less. The cheap stuff is $4. If a extra $14 is going to break the bank, it's time to find a new hobby.

Next, I bet they'll require you to get SFI approved flame resistant zip-ties to install it.

Let's see now.......Regular Zap-straps only $5.99 per 100. SFI "NHRA Approved" Zap-straps $5.99 each.

It has an SFI label all the way down the pad.
