| Maybe you are reading some rules that we don't have. Besides the above quote directly from the published rules here is another quote. "3.4f) TORQUE ARMS: Permitted." How can they be permitted yet prohibited?
Heck here is the whole rear suspension section from the NMRA website. It says in two different places that not only are Torque Arms permitted but so are panhard bars.
3.4 SUSPENSION, REAR
REAR SUSPENSION: Stock type suspension required. Rear coil-over shocks permitted.
STOCK TYPE SUSPENSION: Stock type suspension may utilize aftermarket, direct replacement type suspension components including aftermarket replacement shocks, springs, and/or control arms. All stock type 3-link and 4 link suspensions must maintain stock lateral angles and attachment points, but may be moved up or down on rear axle. Aftermarket torque arms and coil-overs permitted.
3.4a) 3-LINK AND 4-LINK: Stock or stock-type direct-replacement 3-link and/or 4 links required. All stock type 3 or 4 link suspensions must maintain stock lateral angles and attachment points, but may be moved up or down on rear axle. Retrofitting and/or cross-breeding of 3-link and 4-link components prohibited.
3.4b) LADDER BARS: Prohibited.
3.4c) REPLACEMENT CONTROL ARMS: Replacement upper and lower control arms and permitted. Control arms may use any type bushing, bearing, or rod end. Control arms may be adjustable to any length.
3.4d) PANHARD BARS: Permitted. Panhard bars must be located aft of rearend housing. Panhard bars may be welded.
3.4e) SWAY BARS: Aftermarket or factory sway bars permitted. Aftermarket sway bars may be welded to both chassis and rearend housing.
3.4f) TORQUE ARMS: Permitted.
3.4g) REAR SHOCKS & SPRINGS: Any permitted, including coil over shocks and springs. Shocks must be stand alone and may not be adjustable during run via any means.
3.4h) TRACTION BARS: Bolt on traction bars permitted.
3.4i) TORQUE BOXES: The Wild Rides “S” Box has been deemed an acceptable OEM Fox-body torque box replacement when installed in the OEM location as per Wild Rides official instructions. The only acceptable control arm mounting location for the upper control arms is the middle hole on the “S” box, which is the same as the stock OEM mounting location.
So I am saying the Wolfe TCD is absolutely legal in NMRA Drag Radial. I sure hope so there is one going on my NMRA Drag Radial nitrous build. See ya about Joliet!!  |
