From the cars I see race, I am to understand its anything under 9 flat. I may be wrong so correct me if I am.

Yea I thought it was a MPH thing at 150 mph or fastewr however in the rule book in the back it shows a Y for required under 9.99 on parachute but other parts of the book only state 150 MPH or quicker. Hope somebody knows for shure.

I'm not sure there's an ET floor attached to that rule. I know the 150 MPH part is accurate though.

Yes, it's based on mph. 150 for a chute. 9.99 or faster needs a cage and drivers side net is required.

As for parachute mounts....Is the Wolfe Racecraft one that bolts to the bumper brace the best one around?

Are the requirements for T-tops different from a hardtop? Im looking to have either a 6 or a full cage installed in the next couple weeks. I took the car out this weekend and it ran 11.02 NA on a shakedown.

I two want to know this. As I ordered a wolf moly 6pt back in jan. I was told I needed a full cage for T top car. I plan to run mid 10's.

Jan 1 the rule was changed from 150mph to 135 for a chute. What this means is if you run 9.99 and faster than 135 you need a chute.

Damn, one more thing to spend money on. I wonder how stringent the local track will be about this, guess i'll have to find out myself.

Holy **** Brian, are you serious? That's rediculous, I don't wanna put a chute on my car, I drive it on the street all the time, don't think the cops would appreciate that!

You can put a chute on a street car so that it easily comes off and no one would ever know the difference. No hole in the license plate or anything that would be a real give away.

I thought all of these rules varied depending on what track your at. I was at a track last weekend, and a guy ran a built 99 Mustang GT with a 200 shot 1/4m 9.98 WITHOUT A HELMET! No shute, I'm pretty sure he had a cage though, but thats it.

And, you need a license, trans shield, seat bolted to rollcage crossbar, yadda, yadda...The list goes on, and on.
Suggest you spend the $10.00, and get a rulebook. Murphy is ALWAYS present at tech in!!

This directly affects me so I just now called NHRA eastern division 215-343-2558 and they said the rule has not been changed. There is NO et requirement for a chute and only a MPH requirement which is 150 mph.

I suggest calling NHRA directly before you make a disision. Don't take my word for it.

Really, is there a kit for a setup like that and who makes it? Just in case I do need one or if I ever do somehow make it over 150 if that's where the rule still is.
