Does anyone know what safety clothing is required to run in the Turbo Street class assuming you are running in the 9sec range, above 135mph but under 150mph. I read the NHRA general regulations part 10:10 and cannot find a definitive answer on this.

I assume fire jacket, proper snell rated helmet, neck brace and gloves. Do you need the pants and shoes as well?

Also, what is the proper SFI rating needed?

Thanks,

Anthony

I belive full outfit

 

3.2A/5 pants, jacket, gloves, neck brace, SN2000 or newer helmet (if buying a new one, amke sure it is a SN2005 so that it is good until 2015). Shoes aren't mandatory (that I know of).

 

as the guy above stated but here is the actual rule for the class

HELMET
Helmet meeting Snell K98, 2000, 2005 or SFI Spec 31.1A, 31.2A,
31.1/2005, 41.1A, 41.2A, or 41.1/2005 mandatory. Effective Jan. 1,
2008, full-face helmet mandatory on all cars 9.99 or quicker. See
General Regulations 10:7.
NECK COLLAR
Mandatory on driver of any car running 9.99 seconds or quicker or
135 mph or faster. See General Regulations 10:8.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
9.99 to 7.50 or any car exceeding 135 mph: Jacket and pants
meeting SFI Spec 3.2A/5 and gloves meeting SFI Spec 3.3/1
mandatory.

 

Thanks for the replies!
