What else do I need to be NHRA and IHRA legal (low 7's 1/8)? We are planning on traveling to a few bracket races around Tennessee this year. We usually race at Music City Raceway in middle TN and we never get teched there. I just want to make sure I can race at the other tracks and not be sent home after making the trip.
Here are the tracks we plan to attend if you know how they are on tech, please let me know:
Buffalo Valley Middle Tennessee Dragway
Holly Springs Dragstrip - Holly Springs, MS
Bristol Dragway
piedmont dragway julian nc
My car runs 7.0X 1/8 in the best weather right now.
Here are some facts about my car:
98 4l60e Ttop Camaro
12 (thru firewall) point moly roll cage with swingout door bars
Stock seat
5 point SFI harness
SFI balancer
Moser spool with c clip eliminators
aftermarket rear wheel studs
TA with DS loop made in
Fire jacket
Rear located battery mounted on outside of car
mini tub
tube rear slicks without tubes ET STREET
SFI padding where helmet can touch
From what I gather, I still need:
Battery cutoff
Do I need to install tubes? I have a set, but I need to make the valvestem hole bigger to fit.
Metal screw in valve stems. Can I just put these on all four, or will I have to install the tubes with the made in metal valvestem in the rears?
SFI Flywheel(do they check this?)
Is there anything else I am missing?

You'll need your SFI numbers handy, battery cut-off needs to kill motor and electric system, harness not out dated. As for the metal valve stems, I'd add to be safe as you're close to needing now.
Can't think of anything else yet...

According to the sticky at the top you don't have to have a window net till you're running 6.39 or quicker in the 1/8th.
brandonppr you ought to come down to US 43 Dragway in Ethridge, TN sometime. They have some nice races planned this year along with their normal weekend bracket racing. It's my local track and hopefully I'll be up and running myself this spring.

Correct; no net needed on a car with stock floorpan, firewall and frame (wheel tubs okay) until you go 9.99 / 135 mph.
As mentioned, keep the SFI #s handy. Some tracks will check some things, others may check more or less. I've run a couple NHRA division races and they check everything; always better to be completely legal and not need it versus missing something that regulates you to the sidelines.
