History First, Gentlemen

It would be great to have some unique citings from the first tech/rule books. Can some old timers help here, please? ThanksHomebuilding (talk) 17:21, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A "Safety Entry" for the recent shortening of the venue to 1000 feet to reduce top end explosions in fuel classes should be mentioned.

Also, can Kevlar be mentioned as the proprietary material used for 'explosion containment blankets?' Nomex, after all, is specified by name. Homebuilding (talk) 15:08, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Proprietary"? Don't you mean "primary"? Kevlar is already a registered trademark. Alan the Roving Ambassador (User:N5iln) (talk) 15:13, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Making Pages Better

I would like to see the Full Throttle Drag Racing Series Get a Separate page. I believe that even though it pertains to the NHRA and should be mentioned on the page it in not the NHRA. The NHRA is a sports governing body. An example of this being done can be the page for NASCAR, even though it is the top series in the sport there is a separate page for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. I probably am going to go ahead and do this. Please don't ruin my work at least state your arguments here before you change it back. Don't worry about losing your work you already done on this page its going to be a copy paste operation so all original work will remain the same just on a seperate page--Pdesil (talk) 07:03, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've attached a Split template to the main article to get some other eyes (and discussion) going on this. I'm in favor of it, myself, but one other editor favoring a major rework of an article does not a consensus make. --Alan the Roving Ambassador (talk) 18:12, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deaths at the end.

I find the Fatalities section at the end of the article to show an unnecessary negative attribute to the NHRA. Could we find a better way to word it than a big table? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.93.163.205 (talk) 01:14, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Safety last?

Since there have been a lot of changes since 1951, doesn't the flywheel scattershield deserve a mention? It was, legend has it, invented accidentally in 1956 by a couple of guys who were also experimenting with pop mixes. (Sad to say, I don't recall who...or where I read it.)

In a similar vein, "fences & 75' clearance"? Our local track doesn't have the fences, nor ban railriders; in fact, the bleachers are within 10' of the rail. So, does this just apply to venues certified for NHRA Pro events, or what? TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 21:00, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Burn, baby, burn

Two things. One: shouldn't the table just have one "year"? (I see no need for them all to have.) Two: where are the Fuel classes (at least; I might also wonder about Gas...) TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 23:30, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Champions

The list of champions does not equate with the embedded list of champions (eg) Funny Car 2010 Manzo vs Funny Car 2010 Force. This needs tidying up, clearly Manzo was not the 2010 Funny Car NHRA champion — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.152.180.20 (talk) 06:09, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
