that's 1/8th mile, don't get excited. i'll be running a full race season (footbrake and DOT classes) this year so i need to be legit. my local track is IHRA sanctioned, so i need to know what things i need for this year as I'll be a little faster, probably 7.90s to start with. I know several additional safety requirements are required for 7.49 and faster, but is there anything additional in the 7.99-7.50 ET that I need in terms of-- harness, fire extinguisher, safety jacket, etc? thanks

if you are faster than me that is great but don't hijack my thread and start asking for YOUR rules start yer own thread!

 

It should say if you can find the IHRA web site. If not, chek out low country dragway dot com, as they have some basics for ihra 1/8th mile requirements, and may even have a link to the rule book.

 

nothing on the IHRA site, they want you to buy the $10 rule book so they don't have anything online. thx

 

It looks like the only requirements:

-Helmet SN95 (need to look this up not sure what mine is)
-Pants (no shorts)
-DS Loop when running slicks (I have the loop, but its not on yet)

Hopefully some more people can confirm what the IHRA rulebooks says about cars slower than 7.49. And also what is the equivalent to 7.49 in the 1/4 according to the rules 11.99? 11.49?

Low Country Drag way is my local track, and the word is they are going to be stickler to the rules. No more cars running faster than 7.49 without a roll-bar. Looks like 7.49 will be the fastest I go anytime soon then.
