Default Safety equipment requirements for 10sec. cars

What safety equipment are 10 second cars required to have in order to pass tech inspection? If you guys can, please include how much(estimate) you spent in safety equipment and what you purchased. Thanks guys.

Thanks for both of your replies. Yeah, those are some of the things I know about as well. I wasn't sure what type of cage was required though. I'm trying to see if there is anything else that is required also. Anybody else have anymore info or know a site where I could see a rule book?

i thought it was that the threaded part of the stud had to go thread into the lugnut at least the diameter of the stud.

as for rule book http://www.nhrasportcompact.com should do it then download the rule book from the menu on the left

Ha, ha, that's the goal for next season. I'm going to work hard to get there in my street car.


Superdave, 119mph will not get me there. That's pretty obvious. A different setup, more track time and more boost are the plans to get this done.

I'm already in the mph range, but with some traction, should be in the 10s soon as well. Anyone know if my Nex race seats will pass tech? Is there even a rule for seats if you're only running 10s?
