Always run a shield and all safety equipment mandated by IHRA ADRL and the NHRA. Safety is no place to cheap out!
ah beat me to it. i couldnt find it. all in all its bad news. i can see if your comming up to a stop light at 5 or 10 mph but blowing through the traps at 120mph at 6000rpm and tossing it in neutral is just not good.
