Thats right 11.49 is the new # no matter what track you run (IHRA or NHRA) for a cage and restaints..

You can run whatever you want. No restrictions like nitrous or different blower.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2005, a roll bar and an SFI 16.1 driver-restraint system will be mandatory on any vehicle running 11.49 or quicker and for convertibles running 13.49 or quicker. An SFI 3.2A/1 jacket will be mandatory for all drivers in vehicles running between 10.00 to 11.49 seconds. On any car running 11.49 or quicker, a flywheel and clutch meeting SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2 and a flywheel shield meeting SFI Spec 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, or 9.1 will be mandatory. A driveshaft loop will be required on all cars running 13.99 or quicker and utilizing slicks, except vehicles equipped with street tires running 11.49 or slower.

 

my local tracks are IHRA, but that still rocks for traveling races and such!

 

wasn't this for stock/unmodified vehicles or did they change it to any vehicle???

Will

 

They changed it to ANY vehicle

 

If I read that correctly..and vehicle under 11.49 will need a flywheel shield...This is a problem! I haven't checked lately, bought I am ot aware of one made for the Ligtning??

Of course in IHRA it isn't required until you hit the 10's.
