can you explain the licening to me? whats it for my friend w/ his big block fox said something about getting licenced too and i have no idea what it is or why you need it?
In order to go faster than 10.0 seconds on any NHRA member track, you need to have an NHRA ET license and the car's chassis must be certified by the NHRA. My car is certed to 8.50.
In order to get your ET license, you need to get a physical and then go through the following steps under observation of two current license holders and the track manager:
1. Cockpit orientation test. You have to be able to unbuckle and get out of the car in under ten seconds (they are pretty loose with this one.
2. You have to do six supervised passes in the following order:
One 1/8 mile pass, three "moderate" passes (over 10.0), and two passes of 9.99 or under.
After you do all of this you are licensed to drive as fast as 7.50.

Sorry to hear that Tad. No worries buddy you will finish up next weekend :thumb: You movin the tank to the back seat? I saw a tank at my tuners i think he called it a sump tank. Had a big ass pump hangin down from the back bumber. It had a square in the bottom looked like it was about 18in long and 8 in wide. He said it was to keep the fuel going at launch. Square might have been a little longer but it was like 6 inches deep for sure.
I need to do just the opposite. I need the fuel tank in the front so it can "gravity feed" to the pump. My pump is a crankshaft driven unit and can't pull enough fuel from the rear on launch to feed the motor. Just moving the tank prolly gets me into the nines.
