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-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.

Mannnn !!! Thats some great information....Thanks Mr Zdayz
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...)

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.
