First pass didnt really get to mess the car at all. Ran 11.25 and they said i couldnt race anymore .
Need a roll cage, 5 point harness, and fire jacket lol.................

I was hoping to get my 10's with Sharif's tune but they didnt give me a chance to try to improve.

 

man thats funny in the best way possible. I'd say im sorry, but I'd be lying.
You should get one of those drift boxes or something. As a matter of fact, your transmission would be a hell of a lot safer with a bit less traction.
but summation i feel your pain...
I hope you aren't going to put a cage in your car, are you?

 

that stupid honestly. i thouhgt it was 11 or 10 and under you need a cage? Either way that is stupid. it like asking a guy with a lambo to do that to his car .......

 

Yes an 11 sec pass does feel like a sunday drive on the track but wouldnt you want to be safe at those speeds especially driving it on the street could be the difference between walking away an being being carried away. A good legal cage is a fraction of the cost of what it took to make an 11 sec car so just do it safety first.

 

here are the 2 ruels for street legals at Oreilly raceway part in indianapolis (where they had nationals this year)

18. All drivers running vehicles 13.99 or quicker MUST have a full face helmet meeting the SNELL k98, 2000 or 2005 rating.

21. If you run quicker than 9.99 seconds you must have an NHRA license.

those are all the rules for times here locally. Pretty much all other tracks here are the same. Nothing about a roll cage until you get into having an NHRA license.

 

stupid rule, i can see a 10 sec car needing a cage for the track...beleive my local track is the same as binder stated^ i never had a warning or any **** or anything running 11's, but i am high 11's so idk..nice time though op

 

my friend brian runs a 10.4 in his gto without any complaints

 

yeah i think its stupid as well i though it was 10's for cage guess i was wrong.

im gonna try my luck at IFO in San antonio on dec 13.

 

^ u just said you wanna be in the 10s and then you say following the saftey rules is stupid


you just sounds like someone that wants to brag about their car

 

ifo?? in s.a dont you mean san antonio race way? I would go to see this but the 13th is my B-day got bigger things to do lol. Well if you do go the 13th tell me how it goes.

 

How am i bragging? im just saying what happened at the track.
Sorry i have a gtr QQ

 

Maybe someone got seriously hurt there before forcing them to adopt the cage rule?

 

^^ your probably right.
I can understand if your Race car is old and looks unstable, but mine is new and did just fine running the Texas Mile.

but o well i wont be putting a cage in my car.

 

My friend Paul runs 9's in his Skyline all day long with no complaints from track officials. They like his haircut.

 

Kinda retarded if you ask me...

In the grand scheme of things, if you crash and explode at 11.2, you aren't going to be any better off than crashing and exploding at 10.9.

The times are awesomely different...but just saying in the grand scheme of things...

Congrats on a great run though OP

 

Kewlness. What did you get your car up to?

 

Congrats on the time! I'll say this though about the safety regs.......wont be long before stock cars are in the 10's right off the factory floor....I used to remember when 13's was FLYING for a stock car, now it's common place.

I think the rules are geared to "track only" type cars that are stripped down. A factory car that runs 10s would probably be a very safe vehicle on it's own without the need for a rollcage.....on the other hand a heavily modded stripped 1970 GTO running 10's I could see needing a rollcage

 

Wish I had your "problem"
