any suggestions on how to launch her? next time im out i may try dropping the pressure and spinning em a little before the run. also, what kind of safety things will be required going sub 9's? i dont have anything except a seat belt. got told helmet if you trap more than 80, but i dont know if thats correct. i was doing about 78-79.
PM me on here if you are gonna head back out there. I'll meet up with you and we'll get your times down...you'll be low 9's minimum....

You don't need any saftey gear other than a seatbelt until you go 7.49 or quicker...mph is not how it's judged.

After 7.49, you need a helmet and a driveshaft loop.

You are a long ways away from that though.
