if you run faster than 11.49 in the quarter with Hardtop or T-Top you need a minumum of a 5point cage
if you run faster than 13.49 in a convertible you need a minimum of a 5point cage.
5-6point cages are good to 10.00.......9.99 and quicker you need a full cage and nhra lisence
if you car traps 135 or quicker you need a full cage,regardess of the e.t
BATTERY RELOCATIONS TO THE REAR OF VEHICLE:
if you guys relocated your battery to the rear of vehicle it must have a shut off switch Push-Pull kind mounted on rear of car.
it also must have a rear bulkhead seperating you from the battery. avail by wolfe engineering.or you can use a battery box. but the only battery box that meets nhra standards is Moroso part number 74050
HELMET:
if you run 13.99 or quicker you must have a helmet that meets or exceeds snell 2000..examples of a few you can have.....SNELL K98, M2000, SA2000, M2005, or SA2005
DRIVESHAFT SAFETY LOOP:
Is required on all vehicles running 13.99 or quicker and running slicks ex. ET Streets
or 11.49 and quicker on street tires.
NITROUS:
Must have a blow down tube run outside the vehicle.
If you are using nitrous you must have at least a fire proof jacket
5 Point Harness "seatbelt"
When your car needs a Cage vert/hardtop you need a 5 point harness "new or recertified after 2yrs from production date"
10.99 and quicker
All of the above plus aftermarket axles, harmonic balancer,full fire suit
135mph trap
full cage,electric shutoff,window net,neck collar,full firesuit
150+mph trap
parachute
Vehicle Registration:
For the few of you that have asked me about this. You DO NOT need a valid registration for this event as it is not a street legal event.
Note: Make sure if you battery is in the stock location that it is secured from any movement at all..this is something all tracks are very **** about
Im not sure what will be implied to the 100th degree at the track but these are some of the basics that us ls1 tech ppl might have to worry about. and track officials are **** about these things so for your own sake you have a few days. get to work.
More information about the track rules can be found here:

IF YOU DO NOT MEET OR EXCEED THESE REQUIREMENTS AND ARE NOT GOING TO BEFORE MONDAY; PLEASE SPEAK WITH MYSELF OR MARK "STROKER 396" ABOUT THIS.IF YOU CANT PASS THERE MAY BE SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAN. MARK HAS BEEN TURNING AWAY PEOPLE FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS.

i think they may have changed it to 13.99 no matter the tires..but im not 100% sure..this is just how i remember it from getting yelled at,at the track so many times. 2008 they may have changed it. i dun have to worry about it persay due to me already having one. but honestly its a good thing to have on ur car no matter what the case..that driveshaft can be visious

is the driveshaft safetly look the one curved plate with 4 bolts right underneath the driveshaft? I took it off because it was scrapping to **** on every speed bump... I can probably just take it with me and install I guess.
As far as the battery goes, do we need an aftermarket bracket to hold it tighter or something? Or is the stock brackets good enough ?

with my optima the stocker wasnt good enough it didnt move side to side or forward but if u push back on it hard enough it would move. i got owned at the track once for that. so i went and bought a 5$ mounting bracket for the long bolt thingy with the hook on one and and the butterfly nut and a 1$ peice of aluminum from the hobby store and came up with sumthing.

As far as battery goes, when i put in my optima i forgot to tighten it all the way with the stock mounts. i still passed tech with it. its not tightened all the way and it doesnt move at all.
A buddy in Tijuana has them on a special right now... $20!!!!!!

the driveshaft loop is something that replaces that piece, it actually has a metal loop that goes around the driveshaft. The piece you speak of was put there for the same purpose, but the stock piece is so flimsy that if the shaft breaks itll rip through that anyway.
