[QUOTE=Rockin C Racing]Some miss information above.... A competition license is required at 9.99 or 135 mph not 10.99.
OK I worded it wrong, the point I was trying to make to my customer is the license is required at speeds over 135.XX mph.

Turbo Tech - not a problem. Just wanting to clarify is all.
And as for the studs, yes you are correct that the thread needs to engage the hex of the nut. From the point that the thread engages the nut, it must extend beyond that point 1 1/2 times the diameter of the stud, If I remember the rules correctly.

Safety stuff certainly aint cheap. Go price the GOOD Hans devices. But it is WELL worth the price, and you never know when you will need it.
If you've never been in a wreck in a car that was going fast, you will be surprised how many Gs your body has to survive. Everytime I see John Force wreck I'm amazed a guy that old can get out of a car on fire & walk away. And it MUST be due to his equipment, because the human body is pretty fragile, especially an old body like his (& mine).

I have a Drag Pack with ET Streets on my wish list. I was telling the wife about this last night, and she said "since you're putting all this money in it, you should go race for real and go win some $$$". Sounds like a green light to me!
