Default track tech question

You have to be running a certain et for the loop I believe and not sure about the harness.

A DL loop is manditory anytime a sticky tire is used. He will also need a 6 point roll bar, and the harness's . There are also some SFI items that he might need as well, such as an SFI pressure plate, if running a stick and an SFI balancer. Your best bet is to find an NHRA rule book and go from there. MY guess is that if your asking about this and are thinking 10's your going to get booted. My idea would be to go make a few 1/8 mile runs to get you 60 foot down and then make one last full rip at the end of the day.
