Topic: NHRA membership. Attention Bellcow and JimF. All drag racing members too.

[dragracer]

Ok guys, if you're giving any thoughts to racing an any of the local NHRA event at Atlanta Dragway, you will need to be members of NHRA and secure a competition license based on your ET. None is required for going slower than 9.99 or less than 120mph. You get a lot of benefits and insurance to boot.

Check out all the details below and register online before the season begins so you can receive your first issue of National Dragster magazine. I copied and pasted this from the NHRA website.

Thanks Frank
Happy New Year to you guys

Frank,
     Isn't the 120 mph or above for clothing requirements, not for licensing? You have to have one piece leathers or two piece leathers that are metal zippered together 360 degrees to compete with a bike or sled going 120+. The thought of Jim or Bill going into the 9's would make me want to be a spectator!  To get the license, you have to run 9.99 or quicker on your full pass. You can't get the license if you're getting near the nines; you have to run 9.99 or quicker when you go for your license. As a tech inspector for the bike class, the details do matter!

I stand corrected. Hard to keep up with all the details. Yes, 120mph pertains to the leathers. I got hit with that once at ATL on my Honda. It never breaks 120mph but bumps 119 all the time. Of course the one day i didn't put my leather pants on, it ran 121 on time trial pass. Being in a hurry doesnt pay since they were in the trailer anyway.


Find below a clarification::::

Now thats what i'm talking about, horsepower in a bottle. Nitrous, don't leave home, umm the line, without it. And remember to leave a change of underwear (thats knickers for Sam) in the pits- you might need it with this stuff-lol.

[Terry in Australia]

Is there a NOS kit available for a CB750? Oooher...............

[dragracer]

Is there a NOS kit available for a CB750? Oooher...............

That looks like one of their universal kits. It'll work on anything. You could drill into your carb boots to install the brass threaded adapter for the nitrous nozzles, find places for the bottle, fuel pump and the solenoids and go PLAY.

[Big Jay]

Is there a NOS kit available for a CB750? Oooher...............

Yes. #03008.  http://aperaceparts.com/nospage.html

Please don't do this with stock rods.

[Jim F]

oooooooooooooo weeeeee
that nitrous kit with my turbo.............

Hang on to your knickers gentlemen 

[Don R]

Since I passed 55 yrs old I need an EKG with my physical too. Our car is certified to 7.5. We caught a tailwind and ran a 7.44 @ 182 mph the last time out. I can't let that happen at an NHRA division or national or we will be going home early.

[Jim F]

this might sound silly Don but is that in the quarter mile?

if it is then damn thats a fast car

Jim

[Don R]

Yes, quarter mile, it is a bit fast these days.  Unfortunately, it eats a lot of my Honda money. 567" chevy, it should be a touch over 1,000hp. Dyno'ed at 965 before the vacuum pump and new cam.

[Sam Green Racing]

It's only money Don.
