theyd tell you to get the appropriate items and until you did you would not be allowed to race again. simple as that heck you gotta make a pass so you know what you run they know that, they just dont know that you already know lol i seriously hope you dont plan on doing that though that is an fatality waiting to happen- hope i spelled that right
I hope you don't seriously think that the first pass you make will be a 9 second pass... unless you already have the car sorted out at a track that was dumb enough to let you run it enough to get it sorted out to 9 second speed with no safety gear and are now taking a trip to a different track.....
Note: I see it's a stick car, that being said it's not gonna run a 9 off the trailer, and you'll get the boot for going faster then 11.5 with no safety gear.
Why you would want to have a 9 second capable car without the safety gear is beyond me, and most racers for that matter, if you want to kill yourself go get a gun, it's alot less hassle

I say if its full weight then 10.6-10.8. But you'll get kicked off definately. I have a friend at one time wasn't legal. He'd make a few test runs then the last pass would go full bore. They'd kick him off and he would wait 2 months or until they forgot about what his car looks like. -Mark
I got booted for my 10.91 @131 on the 315 Comp TA DRs last time out. Gotta make a run for it to see what it has. Now I am in the middle of the manual aerospace brake setup, MT 325/50/15, and 10pt cage install. I figure it is time to get the car up to date on the saftey equipment. It's not worth the risk.

Some tracks have a special days just for street racers. I know of two (or one in a couple of weeks) drag strips that offer this. All they require is a driver's license, current registration, and valid insurance ... you sign a waiver and can click off as many sub 11.99 second passes as you like. Some even have passengers, no one with a helmet, let alone a roll bar/cage. Typically time slips are not posted/annouced. It is meant to combat illegal street racing by allowing them to race on a track, without endangering other motorist/by-standers.

i've got a buddy with an 8 sec car with just a 6 point. no window net parachute nothing. we went 5.70 at 121 shut it off and coasted to a 9.56 at 128 and were told they didn't care what the 1/8 was but it went 9's so we were gone. and don't come back to the car was legal.

Porting the heads and adding a 200 shot soon. I just dont wanna ruin the look of the car. But I guess I am gonna have to start investing in safety equipment.

As you can tell, many tracks have a street racer night, sometimes called Midnight Mayhem.
