I know it has to exit your car at Bremerton! The NHRA hand book says you just have to have one. It don't say it has to exit your car.

But every track has the right to make there own rules.

Its a good idea to have one

Here's a trick, run it into the carpet ont the side by the tire well if ya can't get it done in time. Chris did it this way and passed. You may or may not get away with it, so... Dump that 300lb boat anchor speaker and just drill a hole at the drain and poke the hose through and secure with ty wraps on out side i passed this way for a long, long time at both tracks.

If I get teh same size hose from austins pro max, what size drill bit do I need to drill the hole? I guess the question should be, what size did you use to put the tube in?

And are you going to be able to make it to PR this Friday?

Well, I'm going to get some tubing from Austins Tomorrow and get my bottle filled up. If you don't mind I'd like to borrow your drill bit so I can drill the hole and get this exit tube squared away. I can also remember to bring that manuel like I promised. In fact I'll go put it in the car right now so I don't forget.

Each car definately has its advantages and disadvantages.

Its way easier changing out my fuel pump and removing my intake manifold. Its easier installing cams in the F-bodies, etc. etc. etc.

So each has its ups and downs! I would rather have the choice that you have though (fender well gromit).
