Thought this might help a bit........

If you run 13.99 or faster you must have a helmet (min Snell 2000).

Roll bar mandatory in all cars running 11.00 to 11.49 (including T-Tops) in
convertibles running 11.00 to 13.49. (Check the NHRA rulebook)(Sec. 1a – ET
racing)

Roll cage mandatory in cars running 10.99 or quicker and exceeding 135 MPH.
If floor and firewall are unaltered roll bar permitted. In convertibles running
10.99 or quicker or exceeding 135 MPH, roll cage mandatory.

Fire jackets required for drivers in cars faster than 11.49 SFI spec. 3.2A/1;
Drivers in cars running 9.99 and faster must have jacket and pants, meeting SFI
spec. 3.2A/5

Master cutoff for battery required for any car where the battery is relocated to
trunk.

Battery must be securely mounted as described in the NHRA rulebook.
Catch can required for coolant overflow.

NHRA chassis sticker and license required for cars 9.99 or exceeding 135 mph.

After market harmonic balancer mandatory on all cars running 10.99 or quicker
(SFI 18.1)

Driveshaft loop required on all cars running 13.99 or quicker utilizing slicks,
except vehicles running 11.49 seconds or slower equipped with street tires.

Shirts, bare legs, tank tops, & bare torsos prohibited when driving in
competition regardless of class, E.T. or M.P.H. All drivers are required to
wear full-length pants, shoes, and socks. Nylon or nylon-type clothing and
open-toes shoes prohibited.


The only question I have is are Nitto Drag radial considered a slick or street tire?

As of today, I have no driveshaft loop....If I remember correctly a "drag radial" doesn't require a loop.

Its going to be a really nice day so that means a ton of cars are going to be out. $40.00 might get you 2-3 passes. All I have to say is GO EARLY!!

Damn, when did 66 raise their prices? I'm pretty sure last time I went it was just $25 to run, but that was 7 years ago. I was considering going tomorrow but $40 is a rip considering how busy it gets there. If you could get 20 passes in I might feel different, but your lucky to get 5 in all day.

Yep. My best advice to you is to spend the $10 on a NHRA rule book if you plan on running at a NHRA track. (Route 66 or GLD)

Or you can Paypal me $5 and I will give you all the rules you need to know for running a bike.

A driveshaft loop is $30 from Summit. It takes less than 2 days to get to you, and about 10 mins to install. It will actually take you longer to jack up the car then to install it.

Test and Tune @ US41 today was $25 to get it and race.

You literally could have ran 100 passes.

There was a red t/a and an srt4 raced each other about 10 times. The T/A beat him every time;
