I have gone to atlanta dragway in commerce, ga and you only have to wear a helmet if u run under a certian time. Not real sure on the time but I think it is below 11 sec or so.

cecil county dragway took them about 12 runs in the 13s for them to tell me to where a helmet. Maybe the tinted windows aided me. Ill tell u what though, that helmet sure does weigh your head down. Makes my big head feel even bigger, touching the roof lol

come on guys,, if you dont have facts, dont post
99.9 % of tracks will require a HELMET at ANYTHING better than a 14.0
some will let it slide, some wont, but according to their rules, you have to have a helmet if you touch 13's at all
Just go get some helmet, as long as the tech isnt stringent, or your car isnt running REAL quick, most any kind of helmet will do

My facts are straight. At the Alabama Dragway you dont need a helmet unless you are in an actual event and running quick times. On a test and tune night such as friday night, plenty of people go 10s and 11s without a helmet and they do not get in trouble. Some do get sent out b/c you have to have a cage if you run in the 10s. However, 11s are pretty much free from regulation.

Just my 2 cents. What happens when someone slips on the shift, gets sideways or something more serious and they flip smashing their head on the roof or side of the window(pavement). Just a thought,
BUY A HELMET unless you want to be a new veggie tale in the Lord's newest series.

E town runs NHRA track regulations so i think its anything faster then 15.99 requires a helmet. You can find the rules on the NHRA site.
