New NHRA Tech rule
Well seems like some of you bling blingers are fubar.
NHRA Tech issues ruling on specialty wheels
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7/31/2003
On the streets, a growing fad has been the installation of designer wheels, and from that the NHRA Technical Services department has received numerous calls concerning the use of some of these designs on race vehicles.
Following is the NHRA technical departments ruling on this matter: "Effective immediately, the use of any spinner-style wheel or any wheel design that incorporates movable parts within the structure of the wheel while the vehicle is in motion are prohibited at all levels of NHRA competition."
NHRA Senior Technical Communications Specialist John Miller added, "This wheel might look great on the street, but as a technical group we feel these designs raise many safety concerns when they are used in competition, leading to the decision."

yeah they check me out in illinois. made me get in and made sure they could see me make hand signals in case something happens. yeah it suchs you cant run w/ dark tinted windows but its all in the sake of your safety. and they will allow like 35% tint so its not all that bad.

That tint rule is actually in the NHRA rulebook, I'm not sure about IHRA tracks. The rules seem to be enforced differently at each track, but thats the price for having a place to race I guess...
