Both are legal for NHRA/IHRA classes. Which means the ratings/test methods are pretty close as far as sustaining an impact.
Tell the whole story, then enough has been said. Chance favors the prepared mind. |

Very good Goatman. If they weren't aloud to be used why did i get past tech at some of the toughest tracks around. Also i checked with one of NHRA'S tech advisors & they also said it was fine for my E.T..

I guess I dont't really understand the difference. Last time I checked my roll bar padding was a lot softer than my sidewalk.

The material that gives the impact means nothing. Its the impact force itself you need to worry about. I don't care if its balsa wood or chrome-moly. An impact is an impact.
Like the old trick: Which is heavier, a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?  Chance favors the prepared mind. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
