Racepak question

I was wondering if anyone knows racers using a Pro II model racepak in Top Dragster class?

According to the document link below, it only explicitly states that TF, FC, TAD, and TAFC are designated classes unless I am misreading the data table. The document's Data Recorders section was last updated May 2014. The PDF itself shows a revision date of last week so it appears to be a current spec sheet.

If it is truly not allowed in TD, does anyone know why? Since you are only logging data and the category itself permits such action, it seems irrelevant. Definitely curious as to the actual answer.

 

Probably a good question for NHRA tech.

 

Yeah, I called NHRA Tech Services and explained my situation. Tech Rep is going to consult with his supervisor, but said likely that Pro II should be eligible for TD and TS.

He said I should know an answer by next week at the very latest. I will share the final opinion once I receive it.

 

generally it is just more computer than is needed

 

But if buying a car that already has it, don't want to have to spend extra money on a "downgrade".

 

I just got a response from NHRA Tech Department and they approved my request to permit the Pro II Racepak in Top Dragster and Top Sportsman categories.

The accepted products list is also updated on the NHRA website.

This way if someone buys a former TAD or ProMod car to convert classes and it already has the higher-end data recorder, then they can use it without extra expense to buy a lower-level model.
