Default nitrous question

I dont know if this belongs in here but I have a bit of a newb question. I am currently getting a NX Express wet kit put on my ls1 and was wondering before I proceed any further are tracks going to require me to wear a full safety suit to use the nitrous? I have some bolt ons and a set of drag radials on the back and plan on only spraying a 75 shot until I get used to it.

as far as i know, tracks require different saftey things for your times. like here at indy, i think anything under 13 you have to wear a helmet and sub 12 is like a monkey bar and sub 11 is a full cage or something weird like that. i dont rememebr for sure, but we just had pinks here, and also had the indy hp shoot out and drag every tuesday night. and that seems to be the rules. take a helmet at the least.

The only special nitrous safety item that may be required is a blow down tube.

Technically any car with an aftermarket power adder(Spray, blower, turbo) is required to have an engine diaper...Do they enforce it often? Not that I've seen.
