Brakes for the trailer
Tires for the car
Tires for the truck

...and seatbelts for the car (does anybody else feel the 2-year cert is a racket?)

Yeah it's a racket but you know everyone gets mad at SFI / NHRA over that. But it's the people on the committees that are driving those rule changes and stupid 2-yr recert deals, THOSE are the people that need to feel the heat. Only the manufacturer makes any money off those decisions.

I just want Santa to come put in my new converter so that I can take it to the chassis dyno.

My Christmas came over the summer with all the new stuff and paint job, but if anyone is asking, I'd like to have a set of wheel well moldings, the louvers for on the quarter panel and a new dash pad.

I would say that's probably a safe bet - but I really don't know who is on those committees?

Yes, it's a racket. There is no proof at all that the recert is required. Now, I do agree that a safety inspector that finds damaged belts should be able to require their replacement, but this two year deal is only a rip off.

Why are we talking about tennis racket's, I thought this was about Christmas presents :scratch:

Oh that's right, you Nova guys like to play tennis on Sundays, while the Camaro guys are out ripping up the drag strips....

I bet Chris and John look "sporty" wearing their white tennis shorts and shoes lmao2:
