It depends on the track when it comes to rules. Most tracks follow NHRA rules even on run what you brung, or at least the track I go to does.

a la 2008 NHRA rule book: In the rules for bracket classes (also TNT general running), Super Street (10.90 index) and Super Gas (9.90 index), it is listed as: "Mandatory on any car that runs 150 mph or faster."

it's only class specific.

Why do you care so much?

Seems like you joined the forum today just to discuss our chute??

The 2 tracks I run at go by this rule as well. They enforce all NHRA rules regardless of class designation. E.G. I get kicked off every time because I don't have a roll cage in my vert running below 13.5.

That's an awesome shot!

I'm curious, though. Why do people always use Prostars when Draglites are lighter? What are the specs on the wheels and the tires (both front and rears), if you don't mind sharing?
