Rules

03-24-2001, 03:06 AM

Hi all,

Does anyone know if its legal to have a water tank mounted in the bed for the WFC Lightning classes? I recall a NHRA rule about no liquid other than gas behind the firewall because its considered a ballast and certain classes could use ballast and other cannot... With all the forced power and intercoolers out there it seems this rule should not apply.... I know that some of the big boys in the NMCA run large water tanks in the trunks so I assume that several of the Pro-5.0 and outlaw guys are doing this as well???

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Dave,
I got my WFC rulebook a couple of days ago. It says "There are no specific rules to the class because this class is an Open Comp-style class." This applies to both Street and Pro Lightning classes.

Maybe that asnwers your question---but I am not too sure.

What about running say a blower and Nitrous at the same time.Not that I would do that but will it be legal in street Lightning?

dave dont think the water deal is a issue with the street l or pro l class rule's dont say anything about it. the guys in the other classes use that extra cell filled with water for a intercooler. but it count's toward the weight of the car.

marcus it does not sate that two power adders can not be used. so if it work's why not. It may put you in pro l though HEHE

I would think that as long as it started at a Lightning, with a Lightning title, then, it's still a Lightning. Shouldn't be any problems.
