11.50's...no bar?...no problem!

[DEL]

I'm not sure if anyone else was somewhat confused about the new NHRA rule. I read their first press release and was left with the opinion that they were targeting the latest performance cars (Vipers, Vettes, etc.)

Interested in how this could affect the TT6 event, I contacted Woodburn Dragstrips Track Operator...here's his response:

(11.49) Roll bar rule applies to every car in every class.

So we can all turn up the wick!

Here's a quote from NHRA.com:



Adjustment to E.T. requirements
http://www.nhra.com/images/spacer.gifIn a move designed to encourage more street vehicles to compete on the quarter-mile, NHRA has revised its requirements for roll bars, SFI Spec clutches, driveshaft loops, driver restraints, and certain protective clothing. Beginning Jan. 1, 2005, a roll bar and an SFI 16.1 driver-restraint system will be mandatory on any vehicle running 11.49 or quicker and for convertibles running 13.49 or quicker. An SFI 3.2A/1 jacket will be mandatory for all drivers in vehicles running between 10.00 to 11.49 seconds. On any car running 11.49 or quicker, a flywheel and clutch meeting SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2 and a flywheel shield meeting SFI Spec 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, or 9.1 will be mandatory. A driveshaft loop will be required on all cars running 13.99 or quicker and utilizing slicks, except vehicles equipped with street tires running 11.49 or slower.

11's or bust!

Slicks + Alcohol + Boost might get my car close!

I'll need some more parts to get to the 11.49 mark though
