specifications mandated by NHRA, IHRA and/or SFI Specs:

ET Item SFI Spec





13.99
Drive shaft loop (slicks)


13.99
Helmet (Snell K98+)


13.49
5-pt harness (convertible)
16.1

13.49
Approved rollbar(convertible)


13.49 (IHRA)
Drive shaft loop (slicks)



Looks like either get a roll bar or find a more relaxed track.

Yea so hows that work. Say we get our car done and go to run it. I know we won't have all the required stuff. So do we just make a run, then they tell us hey, you can't run anymore?
