Going to the track with some buddies next month at the test n tune. I expect to run 12's, so what will I need other than driveshaft loop? Thanks

 

It's really going to depend on the track and event that you goto. I would call them up.

You should expect to need:

1. Seat Belts
2. Helmet (13.99 and under)
3. Battery Holddown
4. Coolant Overflow Tank
5. Driveshaft Saftey Loop (w/ slicks)
6. Exhaust exit behind drivers door

Some "Street" classes require other things

Glass windows
Liscense plate
Working lights
Mufflers


I'm not sure when a roll cage comes into effect.

 

As far as I know you need a cage when you hit the high 11 second mark along with a racing harness.

Tracks vary slightly but all follow roughly the same guidelines. Since you have a street car and will only be in the 12's all you'll need is helmet (proper Snell rating), factory seat belts, driveshaft loop. The car must pass a tech inspection to make sure it's safe.

Go to the Calgary Drag Racing Association web site. Click on Tech Inspect and Secret Street to get an idea on what to expect.

When in doubt, buy a rulebook.

 

Ok, thanks guys, I'll keep you posted on my times...
