Delay devices, throttle stops, air shifters, transbrakes, etc. or any device that transmits real-time, on-track data to the driver or any remote location are prohibited. All applicable NHRA rules apply based on elapsed time. The National Hot Rod Association, known as the NHRA, was founded by Wally Parks in 1951 in the State of California to provide a governing body to organize and promote the sport of drag racing. ...

Exotic material wheels prohibited. Liquid intercoolers limited to water and/or ice ONLY. Air foil bearing-supported turbocharger cutaway made by Mohawk Innovative Technology Inc. ...


Four-cylinder, single-turbo application: limited to maximum 88mm turbo, where the maximum compressor housing inducer diameter is 89.5mm (3.523 inches), measured at the point where the leading edge of the compressor wheel meets the housing. Compressor wheel inducer diameter not to exceed this value, and contours of wheel must not be “stepped, notched, or clipped”; i.e., the contours must be continuous features from the inducer to the wheel exducer. All air entering the turbocharger must pass through the turbocharger inlet. Injection of any liquid, gas, or any other substance into the inlet or exhaust housing is prohibited.
