The Latest News on NHRA Drag Racing's The latest news on NHRA Drag Racing’s Super Team WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2012 BROWNSBURG, INDIANA SAFETY CANOPY APPROVED U.S. Army dragster will feature ‘Tony Under Glass’ to start the NHRA Nationals in Minnesota on Friday Top Fuel Dragsters will enter a new era on Friday at Brainerd International Raceway when Tony Schumacher races with the recently approved enclosed safety canopy on his U.S. Army dragster for the first time in NHRA competition. The truly 21st-century protective canopy and other safety enhancements developed by Don Schumacher Racing and Aerodine Composites of Indianapolis were Tony Schumacher tests the U.S. Army cockpit canopy approved by NHRA late Monday during January testing in Florida. A slightly modified afternoon for use in NHRA version will run on Friday. competition beginning at Brainerd. DSR plans on using the canopy in the first qualifying session at 3 p.m. Friday at the Minnesota track. “We are very, very excited to be able to take NHRA and Top Fuel Dragsters into a new era of safety,” said team owner Don Schumacher, a longtime safety innovator since he began driving and owning Funny Cars in the mid-1960s. “I’m proud of what our talented people at DSR The latest version of the canopy. were able to develop with Aerodine, and thankful That NHRA invested the time into studying it and then approved it once we were able to incorporate their requests.” It will be the first time since preseason testing Jan. 17-21, 2012, at Palm Beach International Raceway in Jupiter, Fla., that the canopy will be used at a dragstrip Schumacher, the seven-time Top Fuel world champion, made 13 runs with it at Florida and posted a best run of 3.761 seconds and 324.28 mph. Since then and without a canopy, Schumacher has run as quick as 3.746 seconds (Englishtown, N.J., 2012) and became the first Top Fuel driver to reach 330-mph (Charlotte, N.C., 2012) since NHRA shortened the racing distance by 320 feet to 1,000 feet in mid-2008. “This never has been about performance. This is about safety,” Tony Schumacher said. “I want every driver to have one. We aren’t hiding anything. Again, this is just all about making it safer for all the guys in Top Fuel. “When I sit in this car under the canopy I have a level of comfort in a racecar that I haven’t had in a long time. Every driver should have that feeling. I’ve lost some good friends out here and don’t want to lose any more." Other than Florida testing in January, the only time the canopy was used was for a promotional burnout with DSR teammate Antron Brown on pit road of Charlotte Motor Speedway during pre-race festivities for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Coca-Cola 600 on May 27. The canopy was approved after a few modifications were made at NHRA’s request.

While Capps and the NAPA AUTO PARTS team led by crew chief Rahn Tobler are well within reach of catching points leader Robert Hight before the standings are reset after the Aug. 29-Sept. 3 NHRA U.S. Nationals near Indianapolis, Hagan and his Aaron’s Dream Machine/Mopar Dodge Charger R/T is battling to get a chance to defend the Funny Car world championship they won a year ago. Capps trails Hight of John Force Racing by 31 points heading to this weekend’s event two hours north of Minneapolis, while a pair of consecutive championship round appearances by Hagan and crew chief Tommy DeLago have moved them up to 11th in points and only 62 outside the coveted 10th position in the standings.

It is the responsibility of the participant to be familiar with the contents of these Technical Regulations and to comply with its requirements. It is not the responsibility of the officials to discover all potential rule compliance issues. The responsibility for compliance with these Technical Regulations rests first and foremost with the competitor. Additional safety equipment or safety-enhancing equipment is always permitted and the levels of safety equipment stated in these Technical Regulations are minimum prescribed levels for a particular type of competition and do not prohibit the individual competitor from using additional safety equipment. Competitors are encouraged to investigate the availability of additional safety devices or equipment for their type of competition. In disputed cases, whether an item, device or piece of equipment is safety-enhancing or performance-enhancing will be determined by the FIA Technical Delegate or the FIA Technical Department. Furthermore, as to performance-enhancing equipment, it is the general principle that unless optional performance-enhancing equipment or performance- related modifications are specifically permitted by these Technical Regulations, they are prohibited. Throughout these Technical Regulations, a number of references are made for particular products and equipment to meet certain standards and specifications (i.e. FIA-Standard, SFI Specs, Snell, DOT, etc.). It is important to realize that these products are manufactured to meet certainspecifications, and upon completion, the manufacturer labels the product as meeting that standard or specification.
