You may want/need to openit up and cal lthese guys http://www.ecta-lsr.com/ they do thi sstuff all of the time and might have some pointers and/or sponsors

Also here is a list of thier rules, which is probably WAY TOO MUCH but a selection of text may be useful to the organizers of the event. http://www.ecta-lsr.com/?page_id=21

Ima safety nut, being on the road coourse alot, so Im probably a little paranoid about safety (couldn't tell it by my driving though).

Just trying to help out.

I know how strict ECTA is with there rules, I got punted out of one of thier events for exceding my saefty equipements speed. I turned 168.23 in a LIghtning, but alas no certificate since I was illegal, not enough safety equipement. Here are a few quality snipettes of ECTA rules:

TIME ONLY - /TO Under 135 MPH
¬Street cars¬ running under 135 MPH shall be allowed to run with the following exceptions to the rules: No roll structure (unless a convertible) , no fire extinguishing system, no throttle pedal toe strap. Factory seat belts are acceptable. These exceptions do not include CONVERTIBLES or PLASTIC BODIED cars.
Drivers without the recommended SFI 3.2A/1 fire suit must wear long sleeve shirt and pants (cotton recommended).
Once a car exceeds a 5 MPH cushion it will not be allowed to run again until it is in full compliance with competition rules.

II-6 TIRES: Due to the extended duration of this type event Drag slicks are not recommended. No recaps allowed.

II-8 WHEELS: All nonferrous wheels on which lug nuts would come in direct contact with the wheel must have a 1/4” thick steel retaining plate or larger o.d. heavy gauge individual washers under all lug nuts. It is recommended that tire pressure used on two piece wheels does NOT exceed 60 psi., or manufacture’s specifications.

Lug nuts must torque totally against a wheel’s tapered surface. A minimum of 5/8” of the stud threads must be engaged within the lug nut.
Vehicles with tires having a diameter of 30” or with wheels over 17” in diameter must use a wheel manufactured for racing or reinforced as below. Wheels must be attached with at least 5 studs having a minimum diameter of 12mm.

Alloy wheels not certified by the manufacturer for racing (i.e. factory wheels are not allowed above 150 MPH. Also , no closed end (Acorn type) lug nuts are allowed.

All hub caps must be removed.

III-2 ROLL BAR & ROLL CAGE: All cars in competition over 135 MPH, must be equipped with a roll bar or roll cage structure. All closed cars between 135 and 150 MPH must have a 4 point roll bar. All closed cars between 150 and 175 MPH must have a 6 - point roll bar. All closed cars over 175 MPH must have a full roll cage. All open cars are advanced one bar / cage category over closed cars. Any individual wishing to enter a vehicle which deviates from these rules MUST contact the ECTA 45 days before the event for approval.
New for 2006 - Current NHRA certified roll cage equivalents are acceptable

Yup, stuck in A town with all of its glory. Well have to hook up and go for a drive, there is a group of folks that put on monthly drives when the weather is warmer. My Z is on jack stand at the moment, and doesn't come out to play when it is too cold (no heat, no Ac, No dash, etc...)

Mine is all buttoned up too. I'll take it out every once in a while, but until it gets warmer I'll keep using my DD for 95% of my driving.

I'm not sure if my Z will be ready or if I'll have a Z due to shop issues but if not I'll be bringing something that'll put y'all to shame on the straight and road session

Count me in for a driver ticket if in the event my Z is not done or gone I can drive another car on the straight.

I may have the cage in by spring, it already sux to drive on Anderson roads, can't wait to get the cage is and trying to get in and out of it then. I already look like a calf being born entering and exiting the dam thing.

Just got a new DD, speaking of such things, bought a tow pig to pull the Z around, woot. Now shopping for a trailer.

You won't regret it. ZdayZ is a great event filled with heavy drinking, fast driving, fun roads, and all sorts of other debauchery.
