Default What are drag rules about breaking into 13's 12's etc...?
As far as helmets\rollcages. When does it become manditory to have a helmet or rollcage?

Thanks,

-Nick-

im pretty sure on these
11.99 and under you need a cage, scatter shield for tranny, helmet.
11.99-13.99 helmet
13.99-x nothing cause its slow.

I thought it was 12.99 and under have to wear helmet. I usually don't see vette guys with helmets.

Depends on the track officials and how lient they are. But for here, it's 13.99 and under requires helmet. Sometimes I can squeeze by and run a few times w/o one. It's uncomfortable so I leave it off til the staging lanes. If they tell me to put it on, I will...but if they don't, then I run w/o it.

Honestly, It depends if your at an NHRA track or not.

11.99 and under means a 4-pt ROLL BAR, Helmet and a Scatter Shield.

a local track requires a parachute when you start to hit trap speeds in excess of 140mph along with the other rules...

13.99 = helmet

I usually drive 25 mph back up the return road and have my helmet off before getting timeslip. Track Steward asks if I wore my "hat"....


Look at my sweaty hair, YES I did where the helmet!
