You'll find that the overall winner of True Street was not even remotely close to Fast240Z's ET's.

From what I've gathered in talking with others on the issues such as these, the promoter has to enforce the sanctioning body rules of the track. Commerce is NHRA so you have to meet their specificiations, if not then (in the famous words of a FFW announcer) YAOUT!...
When I was running FFW Street Bandit since the majority of the cars were running 9's, all cars were required to have the appropriate saftey gear (cage, 3 layer jacket/pants, neck collar, gloves, etc)...
Luckily for me, I only need to get my chassis re-certified this coming year...

Stroked85-
Sounds about right, depends on what track you're at.

Taken directly from the rules found in "True Street" from Pro's website-

CLASS & SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
It is the participant's responsibility to familiarize oneself with the class requirements as found in the 2003 PRO rulebook and the safety requirements as found in the 2003 NHRA rulebook.
The participant agrees that the participant bears the ultimate responsibility at all times to ensure the safety of participant's vehicle and to ensure that participant complies with all applicable NHRA & PRO rules. The participant agrees that participant is in the best position to know about the construction and operation of participant's vehicle, equipment, and clothing, and whether there has been compliance with all applicable NHRA & PRO rules.


That is all they say, in the most vague fashion, about roll cages, saftey gear, etc...

I found that when we were seriously looking into running in some Pro events, and trying to find a class to fit into, their message board was very helpful. The tech officials were very responsive to any questions I had concerning my interpretation of the rules.

No, my car is completely apart and going through a make over. I am making sure what happened to me never happens again. The Z is going to the chassie shop for some new ehaust and some different frame rails and a chute. Fun stuff. It will be down for about a month.
