I heard everyone had to have a Remote Electrical Shut off switch @ $650 ???please tell me 'No' or I'm done w/ T/S.

Where did you see that Richie? I didn’t hear about that. Are you talking about the hit a button from the starting line and the car shuts off and chutes deploy deal like the pros have? I can’t imagine that would be required in TS.

Jamie, 'Tractor3' told me, said he heard it from a an 'Elite' chassis builder when he tried to order his window net, I asked are you sure he wasn't talking Pro Mod? he said T/S....I can't believe it either - no word anywhere.....

Richie,

I would contact D1 Tech, Dave M. or Wayne from the track.
Every year they have a tech meeting before the banquet so if there is a change Wayne would know.

If they do institute that change I don't think you would be alone (NOT running TS).

If it came from CNN or MSNBC IT'S FAKE NEWS.

I've got Bob Nixon coming over my place this weekend for a chassis cert party, I'll be sure to ask him....

It's not in the new rulebook or in any of the latest revisions. So I seriously doubt that they would make you have that without any kind of notice.

I can understand the reason/requirement for an electric shut off in a Fuel car, they run magnetos. That might be a new rule for any car using a magneto, frankly I don't know.

If it is a 2020 NHRA requirement for all Top Sportsman cars your Division Head Tech Inspector will know, call him.

Bob

there is a new battery shut-off required in PM only, so far.

not a bad idea actually, an electronic relay with a switched ground to disconnect.

the Electrimotion down track RF shut-off is completely different, supposed to shut car off and deploy chutes a specific distance past the finish-line. still required supposedly, not sure it's foolproof though.
