What are the rules at a test & tune about cages? Do you need one for 11.49 and faster still?

[havoc742]

All standard NHRA rules and regs apply no matter what day you go to Sac Raceway.

NOOOO! I hate when other people start posting up about going to the track on a day I want to go, now its gunna be packed.. Never tell people when you are going to the track if you want to get in more runs.. This is a known rule Derek...

 

[T9S1i]

id love to go out there with you guys but its opening day of duck hunting season!

 

[chavez408]

does anybody have the rule book for sac? I tried going to their website to downloaded it but my computer keeps refusing it.

 

[T9S1i]

I dont have it, but is there any specific question you are interested in getting answered?

 

[chavez408]

You need a helmet below 13.9 right? Also what about tint? Is tint allow on any windows on the car?

 

[chavez408]

Oh yeah also what kind of helmet do I need? Any kind of motorcycle helmet? I seen a $60 helmet at target I might pick that up.

 

[T9S1i]

i believe snell certified within the last 8 years on the helmet. Correct, anything faster than 14.0 Ive gotten away with regular helmets at infineon, then i bought a real deal racing one. If you are going to pick one up you might as well spend the $150 or so and get a good one. I got an open face one that i strictly use for drag racing, if i rode motorcycles i probably would have used a full face, but i dont so i got something that i could breath in while being in a hot car with the windows rolled up.
This is the one i have eBay Motors: G-Force 5402XLGWH Helmet Open Face XLarge White Each (item 220287944910 end time Oct-29-08 20:40:42 PDT)

They say no window tint on the front, but i have tint all the way around and ive never had problems.

No shorts or sandals, but its not too strictly enforced if you are running in the 13's.

 

[T9S1i]

looking at that ebay add, its a snell m2005 certification... i think i would get a NEW one from summit as its probably certified later. Like i said the certs only last x amount of years so getting a newer one is better as it lasts longer.

Ooooh, you guys are going in the morning, oh ok. I figured you'd be there at night.. Faster times cooler weather.

Should be fun then.

[havoc742]

ApexVIII You should be in the 12's with the mods you have. My car ran a 13.6 on the 14b with the boost at 17psi and a 3" exhaust the rest of the car was stock.

He has a 2g.. 1gs are lighter/ faster.

But yes he should have a 12s car but its temperamental. I think its his choice of music.

All drivers must have a valid state driver's license.
All vehicles must pass a basic NHRA ET Bracket safety inspection. For a full listing of requirements, consult an NHRA Rulebook.
A single co-driver is permitted in vehicles running slower than 14.00 seconds. Co-drivers must be at least 16 years old and must sit in the front seat.
All drivers and co-drivers must wear long pants and shirts with sleeves (no tank tops).
SFI approved helmets are required for all vehicles running quicker than 14.00 seconds.

All the grudge/TnT I've been to they are kinda relaxed on the rules compaired to wednesday nights.

Have any of you guys been to a Test N Tune lately? I'm wondering what the track prep is like? I'm thinking of going this Sat and see what the car can do.

You're AWD, you'll be fine.
