Answer:
Dipstick Dave,
Yes there was additional wording added for 2013. In the 2013 NHRA Rulebook, General Regulations Section 20, 2:14 Transmission, Automatic/NHRA-Accepted, the new added wording states “and dipstick/filler tubes must be securely fastened (i.e., bolted, aircraft clamped). Wire ties, hose clamps, etc. prohibited.”
