I dont completly understand all the rules, Im in Washington and when ready will goto PIR.

I cant find solid information, but if 11.99 or quicker do you get kicked off the strip w/o a roll bar?

Does a Roll bar mean 8pt Roll cage? A single bar? Im lost here.


So does every 50trim car have to be fully setup with a Roll cage and 5pt harness to legally run the 1/4th?

What do you guys do?

Im looking at a Holset HX35 and I know that Ill break the 11.99 soon enough ( Dont flame I will work my way there if need be, this is not the area) and really dont wanna rape my 99GSX DD with a roll cage.
 
Basically, the rules are this:

13.99 - faster = Helmet

11.49 - faster = Roll Bar (main hoop + 2 rear bars + 2 door bars)

10.99 or 135mph - faster = Roll Cage (main hoop + 2 rear bars + 2 door bars + 2 dash/roof/halo bars)
 
Ok that is a good enough goal for me.

Hit a mid / high end 11.

Im happy if I hit that with my DD.

Thanks
 
I had no trouble when I ran multiple high 11 second passes at my local track, but the very first time I ran faster than 11.5 I got waved off to the side where the track official gave me a talk.
 
I'm so glad our track s very relaxed with the roll cage rules and stuff, I hvae ran 3-5 10.6X-11.00's and have street 1G. I couldn't see putting a roll cage in it to race it, that takes away the streetability to me. I'm pretty sure next year though we will have a much stiffer tech but I like having a mid ten second street car that hits the tracks on the weekends.
