Do you read what I read here?
It sounds like you can't run any type of computer that affects the operation of the vehicle?
Does this mean SAFC's and AVCR's???
I know Haltech's aren't permitted, but it's very hard for them to tell you have one as long as you don't have a computer hooked up to it.

9:1 COMPUTER
The National Hot Rod Association has established its policy with regard to the use of onboard computers on race cars competing pursuant to the NHRA Import Rulebook. Except those computers installed on stock vehicles by the new-vehicle manufacturers for the proper operation of such vehicles, no vehicles may be
equipped with computers that in any way affect the operation of the vehicle. Per class requirements, OEM or OEM-type electronic fuel
68 SECTION 7 - GENERAL REGULATIONS
injection permitted. All related wiring, sensors, etc. must be
identifiable to the tech inspector. A computer is defined as any device (electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, etc.) that activates any function of, or in any way affects the operation of, the vehicle based on measurement, sensing, processing, etc. of any data related to the performance of the vehicle. Display or
transmission of any data gathered or processed to the driver or any remote location, prohibited (see 9:2 DATA RECORDERS).
9:2 DATA RECORDERS
Data recorders may be used to record functions of a vehicle so long as they do not activate any function on the vehicle. Data recorder may not be activated by the throttle, clutch, brake, mechanisms, etc., nor by the Christmas Tree, radio transmitters, sensing of wheel
speed, inertia, laser device, or transmission of track position. Must be activated by separate switch. Fifth-wheel sensing devices prohibited on all vehicles (includes wheelie-bar wheels). All lines sensing flow, pressure, etc. of fuel or oil must be metallic or steel
braided. Transmission or display of data gathered or processed by data recorder to the driver or any remote location prohibited. Data may be reviewed (printout, replay, etc.) only after the run.
Any device (mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, optical, etc.) other than OEM-type that assists in determining track location of the competitor's own vehicle or opponent's vehicle prohibited.
Only OEM-style mirrors, mounted in conventional fashion, permitted.
Discovery of a device that displays, indicates, or transmits "on track," "track location," or "elapsed time"-type data will be grounds for immediate disqualification from the event, loss of all NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag Racing Series points for the season and suspension from all NHRA Summit Sport Compact Drag
Racing events for the remainder of the season. Additional penaltiesmay be imposed at the discretion of NHRA.

 

you misunderstood what they are trying to say.
what they dont want is F1 style "on board computers" that can actually change the settings and be controlled from the pits.
Haltech is legal , i dont know who told you they were not!!!haltech is an ECU that is programmed by a "computer"
if you have a laptop in your car you are not supposed to have it turned on after the burnout (some places willnot let you have it in the car at all!!) but if you are datalogging you can activate it and then flip the lid down . noone ever complains about it as long as everything "looks" ok.

 

"OEM OR OEM-type electronic fule injection" haltech is OEM-type EFI

 

The reason I posted this, is because last year at my local track, they wouldn't let me run in any class but Test-n-Tune because I had a SAFC and AVCR!

They claimed that they had data logging capabilities and that was prohibited!
I yelled and screamed about it, but they wouldn't budge!

This year, I have a Haltech and still have the AVCR. If they try to pull the same ****, I will get ahold of the NHRA and file a complaint.

I guess if they own the track, they can do whatever they want, but I would like to think the NHRA might have some influence over them?

 

Thing that gets to me is the Street Class is now the Street Tire Class. You can not run slicks is this class. This put the Supra, RX7 and other RWD car guys a a big disadvantage. Are the FWD cars in this class? They are screwed.. .. The Last event John Shepard with his AWD had a field day. I always thought the Drags racing and slicks were married. At the same time the All motor class is allowed to run slicks.
Anyway,, it is OK to run DFI, HALTECH, WOLF etc....

 

Is your local track ONLINE.
It would be good if they receive alot of email complaints.

 

As a matter of fact it is!
