30 years between runs
Some of the rules are very good, others, like certing belts every two years is nothing but wasteful for racers and a money making proposition for the NHRA cronies.
Diapers on cars running 9.99 or better??? another doozy.
As far as the cut off needing to be push/pull... I call BS. You need a switch at the rear of the car which MUST be clearly labeled on/off. It DOES NOT have to be a push/pull. A single throw switch like Moroso/Comp Eng/Cole Hersee sell will do just fine.
"13.99 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and for the rider of any motorcycle. Most drivers can use a helmet meeting SNELL K98, M2000, SA2000, M2005, or SA2005 specifications."
Doesn't say a full face helmet. I know a bunch of guys that run 10.00-11.00 that use open face brain buckets.
Neck collar???? You running 9.99 or better?
