RE: What are your mods for this spring?
I have NEVER seen anyone wearing a fire suit while driving a car with an aftermarket blower. Not at NYI not at Lancaster. You need a Snell rated helmet, thenew standard is Snell05. You dont need a helmet until your faster than 13.99 in the 1/4th and 8.59 in the 1/8th. You need a driveshaft loop if your faster than 12.99 doesnt matter what tires you have........... I would only be worried about Lancaster as far as cages/helmets/ driveshaft loops etc go. NYI (aka Leicester) allowed my friend Bill to run low 10's at 141 mph (car is a mid - low 9 sec car with that trap speed)with no cage and a snowmobile helmet, no firesuit with a tubocharged Ls1 camaro. I used my DOT Atv helmet at Leicester for 2 years running mid 13's... so to recap, dont worry bout it

If floor/firewall modified, then at 10.99 OR anything greather than 135 mph you must have a FULL cage of at least1 5/8 x .118 MS or 1 5/8 x.083 CM
