Paragraph 3.1 of the rule book says that "all fuel lines in the area of the clutch and flywheel shall be run through heavy steel tubing or outside the frame rail..." Does this requirement apply to ca

I look at it from the spirit of intent for the rule. The idea is to prevent the rupture of a fuel line in the event of a catastrophic clutch/flywheel failure. A torque converter can explode also, and

An additional thing to think about is FWD cars which have a transverse engine. The plane of the flywheel goes front to back. Making the problem worse is the tech inspection checklist that not only ta

Yes, why not, indeed, Benn ? It's easy enough to fit and weld a really stout custom-fit shield right to your particular setup. That's the way we did it back after we first learned what the clutches o

The rules already require a 360 degree 1/4" metal shield for the flywheel/clutch assy. The fuel & coolant line shielding is in ADDITION to the shield. Dan, I already wrote up the rule change request

If I remember right, the drag race sanctioning bodys started requiring 360 degree shields because the clutch-flywheel explosions were blowing holes in their drag strips.Before that, only the upper ha
