12.0 Unleashed Safety Equipment

chris3racing · 03-03-2011, 09:58 AM

There is a list on NHRA's website, under Competition, which is a quick reference to safety equipment required for each et.

I guess it will depend on the track and how the tech crew checks the cars. When we ran our very first Pinks race at Z-Max we did not know what to expect; however, we built our car by the NHRA rule book so we felt good about going trough tech. At Z-Max they made us remove the hood, open the trunk, open the doors and looked under the car. Got down to the personal safety equipment and turned us down because the one thing we did not check was the date on the helmet. At Virginia they were not near as thorough as the crew was at Z-max.

Good luck, we are going to try to run some of the races also.
