Yeah it is different from track to track :!: :!:

Technically not legal Mark, but a lot of tracks are lax on rules. I know 3 NHRA tracks that donot even tech the cars. At Memphis, you teched one time and after that you just took the teck card up to the tower when you came in, Twin Cities doesn't even have a tech crew or scales,(they do get excited if you run too fast and the car is not certified) and now Holly Springs, is an NHRA track doesn't have a tech crew. The BAD, is we are NHRA members for the insurance in case of an accident (at least i am) and if there is an accident with injuries and the car is found to be illegal, the insurance isn't worth squat wheather it was teched or not.

I agree zip the little 1/8 mile track i go to doesn't tech cars, You roll thru the gate pay your money they hand you a card fill it out take to tower, and wham-bam your racing :!: :!: I race at Bristol Dragway nothing said about it, I have raced at Z-max in concord N.C. Summit raceway park nothing said so i don't know.

our tracks up here always tech and if something lil is wrong, they might let you run once, but next time must be fixed, if it is something major, you load it back up and go home, you dont run, that has happened to a few of my friends, but it does make for a safer track

All of ours are mounted Mark. Always on the fenderwells. I think I mounted one on the firewall and they made me move it years ago.

Mopar 68, Not trying to be a know it all BUT if you ever saw what a flexplate can do coming out you would not have the regulator on the firewall. On my car when on carb the fuel line is in a 12" pipe by the flywheel area. Do Not Want a FIRE. I have been a tech man , Track manager NHRA and racer for 50 years.
I think some of the rules are a little picky but not this one Later J.Smith 4621 racing

Here is the read from the 2009 rule book, rule 1:5

All i am saying is i have ran it this way for years, and have see alot of others like this and nothing has been said about it, Now i am sure if my car ran 5.0 1/8 or8.0 or 9.0 1/4 then something might be said.

heres my thoughts go to the track you plan on racing at see what majority are running and go from there but thats just my 2 cents

I am relocating mine as we speak from the front (near the rad/overflow) to the inside of fender. I see why some go to the firewall, as there is little room if you have no fender wells such as mine. I have little space to work with & still have decent hood/clearance. It makes sense... the thought of a flywheel coming up & causing carnage would go through the fuel lines like a hot knife through budda.
