Big safety changes coming
There is also talk of needing and SFI approved flex plate / flywheel ( read it on Classracer.com ) for all cars. Evidently one came apart at a divisional meet or somewhere . I just installed a new one a few months ago and took a picture of the SFI sticker in case a tech inspector asks. My close friend races a 57 Corvette that runs mid 11's there is also a new requirement that any car that has a removable hard top ( even if raced with the hard top on ) has to have a roll bar I forget the E.T. requirement 13.99 and quicker perhaps. He is the process of installing one but its tight in the drivers compartment. My home track is pretty strict when it comes to rules he was warned several times about going to quick without a bar so he was going to install one anyhow even before the new rule. Like I stated they are strict : even though my Dart has a bar I dialed 11.46 and made the pass without my SFI jacket on and was warned.
