NHRA RULES

[svt662]

NHRA Rules, If you make a pass under 11.0 sec. 1/4 mile you need a roll cage? How did that kid run 10.6 at a track with No helmet?

Pretty sure that's for modded cars only no? If it comes off the showroom floor like that, no cage needed. At least, pretty sure this is how it is at Atco, which is my closest track.

Modded cars makes sense!

 

[gofast15]

it's 9.99 or 135mph

Unaltered 2008 OEM model-year and newer production cars running slower than 9.99 and 135MPH do not have to meet the requirements and specifications

He should have definitely been wearing a helmet. Granted it was private track rental but still.
I'm not 100% positive about NHRA rules, which can be different than what a non sanctioned nhra track can choose to enforce or not, but I believe anything 2010 and newer is allowed to run 10.0 and under 150mph stock before safety equipment is required.

All good info! I’m sure this Shelby will be running some some really fast ET’s

You guys are lucky to have a track around that allows that. Even track rentals have become NHRA rule events, around me. Sucks to only get one pass, or lift at 1000'.
