CR38: IGNITION SYSTEMS
38.1
Except for fuel injected vehicles with a mechanical fuel shut-off, all vehicles must have a positive action on/off switch in good working order within easy reach of the driver and clearly marked "ON/OFF".
38.2
It is recommended that the "on/off" switch in pure Drag racing vehicles be mounted on either the handbrake or steering. Magneto "kill button" type switches are not permitted. Magneto working must either be routed outside the frame rail or enclosed in a 450mm length of 3mm wall steel tubing when passing the flywheel/bellhousing area.
CR39: INTERCOOLERS
There is no restriction on intercoolers but no external cooling by any liquids that may leak onto the track may be used on the pre-race line-up area or on the track.
CR40: INSPECTION
Each vehicle, regardless of class, must complete and satisfactorily pass the inspection of the Technical Inspectors before being allowed a trial run or to participate in any Drag Racing event. All nuts, bolts and component parts on each vehicle's suspension system, chassis and running gear must be secured with either lock nuts, lock washers, cotter pins or safety locking wire and must have at least one full thread showing through the nut.
CR41: JACK AND JACKSTANDS (TRESTLES)
No work may be done under any vehicle in the pit area while it is supported by only one jack. Additional safety devices such as jack stands are required to ensure safety in the event of jack failure.
41.1
Engines may not be started while driving wheels are off the ground and not supported by adequate jack stands.
41.2
Failure to observe these jack stand rules are grounds of instant exclusion.
