Does anyone know what the roll bar requirements are for the 1/8th mile? Full exhaust, DOT tires, street legal
Rusty at his finest..............................lol
Rusty, no disrespect meant.
Your answer was short, to the point, accurate,terse, and dripping for an invitation for a smart-alec come back.
I stepped up.
You know I like you, right?

1/8 whats that??..
My little S went 7.92/eighth with a 2.1 60ft. Does the mean if I fix the 60 ft, that it may be flirting with an install?
Not that I care much,cuz I'll probably never track it again.I just went the one time to get a slip to satisfy all the neighborhoodies who kept pestering me with " Okay so, how fast is it", to which I would repy "don't know, don't care. I built it to be a fun car, not a racecar". And FUN it is.
Oh I'd betting pm ya...Del; Lol. I suppose I could have. But the number I would have given would have been a lot more conservative, cuz I just had no idea what I had. Besides, the hard-copy time slip is hard to argue with. Plus for me, lying isn,t really an option. Until the wife asks " does this dress make me look fat?" Next time Ima gonna plead the fifth.....
She still hasn't forgotten my answer.......Perhaps she never will.
j-par; what's got you excited?
1/8 whats that??..
And a real drag race is a thousand feet right ?
1320 ?
As an aside , how many meters do they run over Europe way ?
Around here, everyone has gone to 1/8 mile for every sporstman class. Mostly for insurance purposes for the track as the street cars get faster and faster, but don't have safety equipment.1/4 mile or nothing..i don't even watch top fuel since they went to the 1000'...
Could care less what they do over in Europe.
Yeah, probably, but don't be too suprised if they never say anything about it after you spend the money and do the install.My little S went 7.92/eighth with a 2.1 60ft. Does the mean if I fix the 60 ft, that it may be flirting with an install?
Whatever you do, do it to NHRA specs. IHRA rules are easier, so if you pass tech at an NHRA track, you can take the car anywhere, not necessarily so the other way around.Does anyone know what the roll bar requirements are for the 1/8th mile? Full exhaust, DOT tires, street legal
Sorry I didn't get back to you guys. Thanks for the info. I got an NHRA rule book. Dad took a turn for the worse and we lost him just before Thanksgiving. Then the legal battles with his second wife. Haven't worked on my car for a while. I plan to get back to it after Christmas. Merry Christmas to you all and your families.
