Thanks living_legend but those are old requirements. I posted a link above to new revisions for 2005.

um, my track(No Problem Raceway) said if I run a 13.50 or less in a vert I need a roll bar. And ANY vert requires a helmet. But hey, thats my track.

That is the IHRA standard, in most cases IHRA is a little looser on the rules.

Shhhhhh....... Sleeper. Roll bar too indicative of a racing machine.
you drive a mustang... it is not a sleeper by any means. people expect it to be at least faster than your average car. drop a 03-04 cobra motor into a focus, for example, and you have a sleeper.

oh by the way, is that whole 10k race with jdan still in the makes? i tried to read some of the newer posts in that thread but they all (at least the ones between the both of you) were edited out. must have got pretty aggressive...

He drives a '97 GT, a car that in stock form gets landed on by Accords, Altimas, and Mini Coopers. If it runs 11's than I would consider it to be quite a sleeper. If he drove an 03 Cobra, it would be a different story.
