the official rule is 13.99 or faster and you have to wear a helment.
i ran faster than that though and noone ever made me since it was test and tune so i guess theyre lenient. but def bring one in case.

Now, I full realize that I have more work to do to the car but damn. There just wasn't any "street car" style hook out there for me tonight

Yea, that's pretty funny huh? I didn't get out to the track until 12:15 and they were closing the test & tune lines at 12:30 so I didn't run

I hooked up just fine till my rear broke. 1.53 60 foot on MT drag radials. I was in the white LT1 TA. That was my first run ran 11.53, next run I broke the diff.

Yeah there were some cars with more parts on them out there hooking better for sure. I know now that I need my LCA's and subs on the car more than ever. I was just hoping for the converter to show it's benefits a little better, but it looks like it's getting absorbed in chassis twist and wheelhop instead..GRRRRR...oh well, so much for doin shit on a budget. Thank God I finally landed a good paying job so I can throw some more parts at this car =)

Good looking T/A by the way, I was right beside you in the lanes once, glad I didn't have to run you.......

It just varies. I was running 13.50's in my GT and they yelled at me about not wearing it, even though, at the time, IHRA rules read that any vehicle trapping 100+ mph required a helmet and my car was only trapping 99.
