Default LA Invasion Fontana, What do we need for the track?

I thought even though its only two days before the day we should list some things needed at Fontana.

Im not talking about the obvious NHRA rules but more what will tech be looking at?

Ive never been to Fontana and raced so i would hate to be unable to race for something little and I know we have a few people from out of state that may never have raced here either...

Im sure they check for your battery to be secured, vehicle reg., do they check insurance? What else? What are they strict about and what are they not so strict about?

Thanks guys, its going to be a good time.

Its not a street legal event so no insurence or stuff like that is needed. You can take full race slicks if u have them. But beware the techs right there are the most ******* ************* ever. I don't think ill ever go race there again.

You will need the correct helmet with the proper ratings.

Cool guys, how about the battery? I have heard some places say a fatory battery hold down is not enough and it needs a strap or something holding it down.

Do they check for a driveshaft loop?

How long is a helmet good for? I have a dirtbike helmet that has the proper rating but I heard at one place its only good for two years and then I was told 10 years...

When I go to tech what do I need as far as paperwork?

I hope not. I think the web site has a Snell 2000 rating on it for the minimum.
