Chassis certification has nothing to do with tech for rule compliance on other safety items. It's up to your local track to verify that the car conforms, and a lot of tracks primarily depend on the waiver you sign that says your car meets the requirements.

So if you go for chassis certs and something with the car doesn't comply with saftey tech (like the nitrous line routing, or something like that) they will still give you your certs if the chassis itself meets all the requirements? So basicly you can bring them a rolling chassis?

I agree it would probably be the safest routing outside the car. Has anyone found a section in the rulebook that requires it? I've only ever seen the requirements for venting the bottle, psi bottle capacity and permanent mounting requirements. I'm curious if there is a rule on it.

page 202, no mention of running lines at all.
I don both and out side the car is easier, just poke a hole in the rubber drain plug and snap tie it to the fuel lines and flow them up

man this subject really hit a soft spot in some people!all he wanted to know if there was any issues not if it was ihra/nhra legal.but any ways the point being I personally think outside of the car is better and safer.those pictures dont mean nothing ,thats it legal for racing.just because no one says anything doesnt mean that its right/ legal.and for that part your subposed to register your vechile w/ dmv that it carring a bottled product,that it is secured properly and display a sign it on the outside of your vechile.ever heard of haz mat.thats why those truck drivers have those stupid *** signs stating oxygen,hazardous,explosive,and so on.this may not be true in all states but it is around where.now thats a issue for him to think about!

Well, I for one am glad we got an answer - I am about to install my kit with the line under the carpet and I have to get teched at both IHRA and NHRA tracks! I'd hate to have to do it twice. Thanks to those who ran the answer down!
