I was just on the Mid-Michigan Motor Plex site and ran across the rules for helments for 2006.
Don't want any one to be surprised

2/10/06

ALL COMPETITORS RUNNING 13:99 OR QUICKER PLEASE TAKE NOTE:

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2006 A NEW HELMET RULE IS IN EFFECT!!

************************************************** *********

THE SNELL 90 HELMET WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTED. YOU MUST USE THE SNELL RATED 95 -K98-

2000, 2005 OR SFI 31.1 - 31.2 - 31.1A - 31.2 - 31.1 2005- 41.1 - 41.2 - 41.2A - OR 41.1 2005.



JR DRAGSTERS SF1 24.1 & 24.1 2005 IS ACCEPTABLE.



THESE RULES ARE IN THE 2006 NHRA RULE BOOKS. PLEASE CHECK YOU HELMETS. IF YOUR HELMET

DOES NOT HAVE A TAG WHEN YOU COME TO TECH, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RUN. NOW IS THE

TIME TO CHECK HELMETS.



ALSO ANOTHER REMINDER & RULE- ANY VEHICLE THAT RUNS 9:99 OR 135 MPH, CHASSIS MUST BE

CERTIFIED & YOU MUST HAVE A VALID NHRA COMPETITION LICENSE, UPDATED SAFETY EQUIPMENT,

(NECK COLLAR-JACKET-PANTS-GLOVES.) CALL & MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT FOR CHASIS CERTIFICATION.

BOTH DAYS ARE FULL!!!



JRS.** IGNITION SHUT OFF MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH EITHER A NHRA ACCEPTED MANUAL KILL

SWITCH OR MASTER CUT OFF SWITCH.



INSURANCE RULE: IF YOU ARE 18 OR YOUNGER, YOU ARE CONSIDERED A MINOR. YOU WILL NEED

A MINOR RELEASE SIGNED & NOTORIZED BY BOTH PARENTS IF YOU COME TO RACE AND THEY ARE NOT

BOTH PRESENT WITH YOU. YOUR FRIEND, AUNT, UNCLE, COUSIN, OR BUDDY CANNOT SIGN FOR

YOU. WE ONLY NEED THIS FORM SIGNED ONCE FOR 2006. WE WILL KEEP THE FORM AT TECH FOR THE

SEASON. IF YOU NEED THE FORMS, PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO SEND IT TO

YOU. WE WANT YOUR BUSINESS & WE WANT YOU TO BE ABLE TO RACE WHEN YOU

COME TO THE TRACK, SO PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS THAT NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE CARE OF

YOUR FORMS.

 

Its the same for all tracks as it is an NHRA/IHRA mandated rule.

 

IHRA still lets you use the M90 down to 11.49.
