I was looking at the quick reference thing on the NHRA website but was still a little confused. What all do I need.

helmet, neck bracem fire jacket, 6 pt rollbar, driveshaft loop, correct wheel stud lenth, battery shutoff if it's relocated, 5 pt harness, fire extinguisher too I think.

If I missed anything, please someone chime in, because I'm in this speed range and that's what I've taken care of so far.

If the floorpan/frame has been modified (only exception is mini-tub or full tub without hacking frame rails or cutting floor forward of driver seat) you need an 8-point cage.

Otherwise, from 11.49 to 10.00 (NHRA rules) on a hardtop/t-top car you need:

-5-point roll bar (driver-side door bar only required, but most put pass side as well to reduce flexing and increase stiffness)
-5-point harness with center crotch strap
-Snell 2000 or newer helmet
-fire jacket
-Battery cut-off in back if battery has been relocated, and battery must use bolt-in retention device (not j-hooks or a seatbelt to hold to tray)
-Aftermarket axles
-Transmission blanket or shield 10.99 and quicker
-SFI-approved balancer and flywheel/flexplate
-long studs with open lugs (check out NHRA's website www.nhra.com for the exact description on what length/engaugement is needed)


Not needed until 9.99 or quicker (again, NHRA rules):
-separate competition license
-neck collar
-full fire-suit with pants, jacket, gloves and shoes.
-window net
-NHRA certified chassis

I've also possibly forgetton a few things...

Thanks for the quick response. I am just trying to figure out what I need to do to the car to run it legally. I mainly go to gurde nights and stuff where they don't really look at the cars but I did a little bracket racing this summer and would like to continue that I will just need some more safety stuff now.

thanks villian.. forot about the scattershield in teh tranny and the sfi flexplate and dampner/pulley... both which I did. I thought I rmember reading about needing an extinguisher too somewhere, same with the neckbrace. Both of which, are a good idea anyway I think even if they aren't required.

man I'm with you.....I wish it was easier to navigate their site and make all the rules easier to find.

that the complete rules are available there. The easy way is to spend the $10.00 for a book.
FAR tooooo many so called tech guys making absurd interpretations of the rules...
A rule book is like an Amex card... Never leave home without it!!

Amen! I've actually had to "tutor" some tracks tech guys into what was legal and not legal (or even needed) for certain ets.
