The rule book says you need a minimum thread engagement of one 'diameter' within the (hex part of the) nut.
So a 1/2" diameter thread will need 1/2 " length of thread engagement within the nut.
Cars 10.99 and quicker must have open ended nuts,
so that the engagement is visible.

I've got a simple little tip for a drag car.
OK then, two! 
1. Always put a battery cut-off switch within "really-fast-hand-swipe" of the steering wheel. Always. As your hand flails wildly in front of your
great big huge goggle eyes at 100-and-lots, your fingers can flick out and kill the damn thing before it kills you! In addition to the ANDRA required
external switch is easy to do.
2. You get vibration in the water box. Sometimes it can upset the float level and stall the car when you jerk forward and the slicks bite hard. While
it's sitting there quietly, you notice you can't hear the pump whirring. Lucky you put all the relays and fuses, with spares, right on the tunnel
within easy reach to change the fuse so the pump works again. So you can start it. So you can stage. So you can win and do it all again.

Hmmm, strange that. I didn't realise the class was being over run by manual transmission vehicles with centrifrugal clutches, clutch management and
two wheel brakes enough to warrant a rule change.

Rev6 clutches etc that are centrifugal assisted aren't lock up clutches (page 199). The rules regarding pneumatics etc would be more focused towards
sneaky multi stage setups so a call to andra tech may hopefully get that clarified for VW applications. I'm guessing those rules are aimed at keeping
door slammers out of super sedan.
4 wheel brakes are a PITA though!

Actually centrifigal assist is exactly what a lock-up is, the bike guys have only been calling them that for about 30 years.
They obvioiusly meant "multi-staged adjustable" I spose.
Not trying to be clever, but jeez it just gets frustrating when every year ANDRA brings out new rules, but call the items different names to everyone
else! They cause vastly more confusion than they fix.
I rekn if $100K ex-Doorslammers with Lenco's want to turn up thinking they have it in the bag and get trailered by a manually-shifted hotrod, bring
it on!
Do your stuff Henry!

My front wheels and struts are ready to go for brakes but it's the plumbing and master cylinder that will take some time.

Nothing in the rules to say that they have to both be connected to the master cylinder.
My rears are on the foot, and my fronts are on the staging brake.
Work very well and easy to plumb.

An update on the four wheel brakes.
I have spoken to the new ANDRA technical guy who has emailed the national rules committee to get this reversed. No one knows why the rule was changed
so a page edit will be sent out by the end of the week.
He has also said my ballistic blanket is good to use and will email me that confirmation too.
He seems like a reasonable guy to deal with. Here's hoping sanity continues to prevail.

Nice work Andrew....makes you wonder though how many other rules have been changed on a whim. Just as a point of interest i'd like to know the
trigger for a rule change, other than safety of course....is it just an idea a single person has or is the result of a majority decision?

From what I understand.....and don't quote me ......
Anyone can submit a change request. It will go to a national rule committee for that class who review the change and it will go into the next rule
book. If it is requiring an earlier change than the next year they submit a page change. And notify people through their websites and through ANDRA
notice boards.
There is good info on their site.

He didn't except to say that the changes look like a carry over from super gas which doesn't make sense because I looked at the 2013 super gas and
it doesn't say anything about it.
I'll ask and let you know.

ANDRA are going to be sending a page update that will reset the suspension, clutch and brakes back to the 'general regulations' so there will be no
issues with the rev 6 clutches.

I've created the Drag Tech section, and you're the moderator 
Have fun folks - it's a sub-forum of this forum, so it should be easier to find than if it is off by itself.
thanks
