Owell. So i guess im screwed since i have tint and all the classes require no tint! lol

Well believe it or not.....I have seen some guys come to the starting line WITHOUT a helmet even in the car. Some have tried to run with their seat belts unfastened or the window net down on cars that require a full roll cage. It does happen from time to time mostly from being in a hurry to race and not miss a round which means a DQ.. Thats why the starter needs to see that you are using the required safety equpment before ativating the tree. Just having it during teching in dosent mean much. A lot goes on in bracket racing that shouldnt happen (not saying you would do it). I see a lot of bracket cars without a fire wall between the fuel tank/cell and the driver and 5+ gals of gas plus a battery just hanging by a thread right next to the fuel cell. Thats because the tracks just want your entry fee and a lot of local so called tech people just dont care. The NHRA and IHRA tech people DO care about your safety. After 22+ years at this silly game I have seen just about anything and everything. Be safe first and enjoy. Its a great hobby.
