Not rule related. Anytime there is chance I could get burnt.  I have two 5lb bottle on my car and its bracket deal mainly. Around here bracket cat means big tires in the back, small tires front, diaper under engine and entry money.

concerning nhra rules and race organizations.  a buddy was going to do a air cooled vw related 'series' or create an 'organization'.  in conversation with a nhra tech (well known on west coast), he said whatever the 'series/organization' mandates is what rules (rules over nhra).  meaning as example under heritage NE rules is suggested but not mandatory, that would over rule nhra regulation as that is a race series/organization with their own rules even though they race at nhra sanctioned tracks.  i would imagine though at a non-series type race.. just say TNT or bracket racing then it would default to nhra rules.

The NHRA Heritage rules are an addendum to the regular rule book. The default is to the NHRA rule book in everything apart from classing.

Thank y'all.

I found this while searching for fire bottle cable info. Does everyone else actually run the cable inside of a frame tube or through the uprite holes and attach above the lower frame rail?
 The only metal cased cables I have seen are large and have push only activation. I believe Roo was  setting this up to pull with a lever.  The grey cables are all I see used.
Any help is appreciated, especially pictures.
