Requirements at the track??

nined3stang · July 9th, 2009, 01:26 AM

I recently purchased a car that in essence is set-up for drag racing as best as one can be. I'm adjusted and ready to take it to the track for its maiden voyage. What requirements should I be ready to face since this is potentially a 10 sec car and everything else I've taken has been in the 13's? Any requirement on helmet? 3/4, closed, shield, open? Shoes or attire? Car is set up properly and I'm sure will pass tech inspection with flying colors, but what about the rest of the unknowns? Thanks in advance for any help.

big thing that pops up is no mention of a rear firewall being installed, when you put the battery in the harch area there needs to be a firewall seperating the battery/interior. you'll also need a SFI approved bellhousing, bolt in valve stem's on the wheel's, legal harness, fire jacket, & other misc stuff I'm shure I've missed. the best thing to do is go to you local track & talk to the tech guy's first (as in prior to accually bringing the car), if your track is any thing like the one's I race at, they will cut the slower guy's some slack but expect the faster guy's to be ready & legal & they will send you home if your not.
