Getting closer for 9’s

So you had to replace a perfectly safe, suitable, protective device, MERELY because it was timed out, and nhra "has a rule".
Sounds a little like the seat belts that are perfectly safe at 730 days, and dangerous and illegal after 731.
I have had lots of equipment on my cars that theoretically "timed out" that was never looked at by any tech inspector....... but they always look at belts and helmets, so they can MAKE you buy new for no reason..... other than "the rule".
Is it any wonder guys purposely don't run nines?

seatbelts have nothing to do with 9’s. They require replacement every 2 years in any car that requires them. 11.49 and quicker
