11.00 faster - roll cage req.
Trapping 150+ mph parachute req.
There is no requirement for gloves!

Also make sure you have shoes on, pants and long sleve shirt! Don't put on tank tops and **** like that! You pretty much will be asked to be fully clad for safety purposes!

Make sure your helmet is Snell2000 approved (label inside the padding) and that you have shoes, pants, and long sleeve shirt, regardless of how fast your car is.

Tech inspectors have the final say so don't leave anything to chance.

What were your 60ft times?

Also keep in mind the conditions here are usually pretty crappy for drag racing... Back when I was trying to set the record I used to check the DA everyday. I think it was around 300ft on the day I ran my 13.4. Eastcoast has negative DA a lot of the time, so they run better times there...
