Default NHRA Nitrous Requirments

Search isn't working, so I must post here...

I plan on heading to the drag strip in a week or two and I'm installing nitrous. What are all the requirements for using nitrous on a track?

I know about these

Blowdown tube to outside the vehicle
Blowdown double threaded NHRA Valve...



Anything else?

D/S loop, and if the track is strict, a 6 point bar, since 11.49 is the cutoff.

Just found out more... here's some requirements for your nos...


http://www.importdrag.com/2006%20NHR...20Overview.pdf


Now, I see the fire suit requirements are if you run 9.0-7.50

I don't see the fire suit requirements if you're above that... am I reading that incorrectly?


I believe it's only the blow down tube...

And are M/T Drag Radials considered "slicks?" don't think so, but better check
