Do we need registration or insurance like on street legal days? I'm guessing no considering I think some trailered cars are going.

Depends on how fast the car runs, any time you race a car you should always have a helmet even if it is a slow *** 17 sec car. I think if you go 14.00 or faster, at least it used to be you need a helmet. Drivers license, if you run slicks I would imagine open lug nuts on the rear and a drive shaft loop if they actually will look or not who knows.

I would suspect anything a regular drag strip would require.

If your car is pretty stock looking then tell them it is stock and show them your helmet, they won't reinspect your car if you run a 12.50 or anything, now if you bust off a 11 or 10 sec pass with no roll bar or cage expect to end your day of racing.

Sure, but how much difference is there between 150 cars and 200 cars? On street legal days they have 400 cars and we get four runs. Oh well, anyone who missed out should not have sat on their butt so long!

14.00 or slower, nothing but a stock seat belt and a car that isnt falling apart.
13.00 to 13.99 you need a helmet, with a Snell rating, not a DOT rating.
11.49 to 12.99 you also need a driveshaft loop.
11.49 or faster you also need a rollbar, 5-point harness, and fireproof jacket. (13.49 or faster for convertibles)
