The NHRA has banned ALL slingshots from any NHRA sanction tracks. We talked to the heads of the NHRA a few months ago at Nationals and they told us NO because they felt it was too easy to make a slingshot go too fast and felt it was dangerous.

Are you F*&^G kidding me!!? They allow a liter bike that can runs 8's out of the box, snowmobiles with modded that easily run 11's, Can Am spyders!

Time to write to the NHRA and post up on there facebook page. A slingshot is NOT easy to make fast and is allot safer than a motorcycle down the drag slip! If they continue this ridiculous band I guess we will street race! They preach on how street racing is not safe and stupid yet they will not allow slings on the track! DUMB!

You can lay the blame on the "Famous ***hole" of NHRA
Board of Director Member & Senior Vice President-Racing Operations Graham Light

Good Luck changing his mind.

He rules with an "Iron Fist" without the velvet glove!

So, I put a post on NHRA facebook and it never got posted. lol

 

[MISTERZ06]

This is what Graham Light looks like

* if you see him at a NHRA event or in the street

Give Him a Swift Kick in the A S S

That's the ***hole!
If you want to know how he rules ask Steve Johnson from the 2005 U.S Nationals Pro Motorcycle Finals!
After 2 or 3 weeks he was finally declared the "Official" winner!

SLM... I like it.

What a crock. I suggest we flood their emails with canned letters and start a hashtag campaign on social media. Works wonders for other causes to get noticed.

He obv hasn't even driven one. It's. Not like they are even that fast stock. Seriously. If they let a can am spyder run why no us. Atleast we have some sort of protection

I just called the 1/4 mile track near Houston, TX where I live. It is actually in Baytown, TX called Royal Purple Raceway. (2525 FM 565, Baytown, TX 77523) here is the site. ROYALPURPLERACEWAY.COM It is a NHRA Sanctioned track. When I called I had them check with track manager and several other people at the raceway and they DO allow Slingshot to race on the 1/4 mile strip. So that is good news for me. I know others around the nation might have a different story with NHRA Track near them. I suggest you give your local track a call and see what they say. (However, I will sign the petition) Where is the link?

I am going this Friday night to try my Slingshot on the track for first time. They call it "Legal Street Racing" at the Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, TX. Its goona be fun.

Oh and I wrote down names of who I talked to (Kacey) on phone and she verified with (Seth Angel) the Track manager.

I will update yall if anything changes.

FOLLOW UP. Last Friday I went to the Royal Purple Raceway 1/4 mile track which is NHRA Sanctioned and they let us Slingshots Race. They did make us wear later jacket, DOT Helmet , Gloves, full length pant and shoes. It was fun. So....I am going to go again this Friday night.

Well I rather not say because I did spin pretty bad with a street tire. I am working on getting the right size slick or drag radial right now. I will be updating soon. Sorry not info you wanted. But I did win against a stock slingshot.

Well I actually probably not going to track tonight. The tire I wanted could not get to me on time yet. But I will see you tomorrow night at the Superbowl Slingshot Houston Cruise tomorrow night.
