Re: Quick Release Hub for Steering Wheel

Moroso claims this one is SFI 42.1 approved. :scratch: I am reworking my steering shaft on the Camaro since I switched from the big block (which had fenderwell headers) to the small block (which has chassis headers), and figured I should replace the QD if I need to. Guess I'll call NHRA. Thanks, Joh...

Quick Release Hub for Steering Wheel

Hey guys, is this kind of quick release hub still legal at NHRA tracks? A buddy told me that this type is no longer accepted and that I must change to a splined type of hub. :?

Re: Nova motor plate--small block

Here are some pics of the motor plate I'm working on for my Camaro. I'm converting from BBC to SBC. I carved it out of a Comp Engineering PN C4004 rectangular aluminum piece. Still need to weld on the tabs to the crossmsmber. Let me know if you need any more pics.

Re: Fontana track rental spots are open 70 cars allowed.

Are there any restrictions on what type of car you can run for this event?
Fontana typically runs the NHRA Street Legal Drags (ie: street legal car, proof of insurance, mufflers, etc.).
