Is there a tech checklist anywhere online?

Other then the online NHRA rulebook, not that I know off.

As long as your not faster then 14's you basicly just need seat belts, battery tie down, radiator overflow, and the car must be in decent condition (no obvious issues, rust, mud, broken parts)

his car will be running a lot faster than 14s... maybe...

Lol correct

well, unless you're running with a convertible car the rules are pretty easy to meet until 11.5.

If you're running slicks you need wheel studs that extend into the head of the lug nut a distance at least that of the diameter of the stud. Driveshaft loop with slicks (where applicable obviously).
Remote mount batteries need to have a marked cutoff switch that kills power to the entire vehicle.
Helmets are always a good idea. (is the helmet cutoff 11.49 or 13.99, I forget)

NHRA rulebook as of a couple years ago says that the driver of any car running non-factory forced induction has to have a SFI approved fire jacket. Chuck, are you going to be watching this one at all this year? I know ISD and BIR haven't been enforcing it in the past (I don't care either way, I picked up a jacket last year)

How strict will you be with battery shut off switches on Street Legal days?

[Top End]

If its in the rules it will be inforced. For situations were the driver is not aware of a rule (depending on the rule and how badly its violated) they will be informed of the infraction but allowed to race (again only if a minor infraction such as not the proper jacket), but will not be allowed to race at another event until the problem is corrected.

If the vehicle if fast enough to require it or the battery is relocated to the trunk it needs to have a shut off.

If this holds true (which is appears it will), the October 8th 'Rain Make Up' date will go into play. Quite a bummer, but we will cross our fingers for the June 11th Street Legal Date!

[DaveH]

This weather blows.

[Top End]

Yes it does.

BTW here is a page I added with a quick ET and MPH requirements, remember this is a generalization, please see the rule book for exact requirments and regulations.
