4. BATTERY SHUT OFF SWITCH.
5. MIN. OF TWO WHEEL BRAKES.

GLOVES AND NECK BRACE.
7. DRIVELINE LOOP.
8. EYE PROTECTION (NOT GLASSES), (YES I KNOW I FORGET SOMETIMES, BUT IT IS THE RULE).
9. FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
10.FLOORBOARDS (NON FLAMMABLE).
11.FIREWALLS, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY NEED TOBE AS HIGH AS THE DIST. OR MORE.(NONFLAMMABLE).
12.FUEL SHUT OFF.
13.KILL SWITCH.
14.SCATTERSHIELD(FLYWHEEL) AND PLANETARY GEAR SHIELDS/BLANKETS.
15.TAIL LIGHT.
16.WHEELIE BAR (IF THE CAR WHEELIES).
17.FIVE POINT HARNESS (INSTALLED CORRECTLY).

19.TWO THROTTLE RETURN SPRINGS AT CARB OR INJECTOR.

THEY CAME FROM THE RULES PAGE.
http://www.sand-drags.com/RULES-PAGE.htm
WITH A 4.73 SEC. CAR MAYBE #1 AND #9 DONT APPLY.
ALSO #12 WOULD ONLY BE ENFORCED IF YOUR RUNNING AN ELEC. FUEL PUMP.
I THINK YOUR CAR WOULD NEED TO MEET THE REST OF THE RULES.
MAYBE CHACHY CAN CLEAR THIS UP FOR YOU.
RACE ON

The rules are for YOUR safety! History has taught us that we as racers need someone to enforce them. What is it worth to be on fire with no firesuit? To crash your car because the throttle stuck. To have an out of control wheelie and run into your competitior or worse into the crowd. Seems like a few racers don't have alot of common sense. Joe

Safety is cheap insurance. Sure you dont need a fire suit but for a $100 dollars are so,If it did happen you might be around to tell this to the next guy.And a full face helmet is a must to keep your smile where it belongs(on your face)I believe even if you have a windshield its a must in case of flying Glass.
Hey lets face it Accidents happen at 5mph 50mph and 100+mph.
Bottom line how much is your LIFE worth.
My Family and the folks at SkidRow Racing would like to Wish everybody BLESSED Holidays.
Not Here To Win, Just Here To Annoy Everyone !!!! |

SO MY FINE FEATHERED FRIEND ARE YOU TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING BETWEEN YOU AND THE MOTOR/EXHAUST? SOUNDS LIKE THAT COULD ADD UP TO A FEAST(ROAST DUCK),IF THIGS GO BAD. SORRY QUACKER JUST COULDNT HELP MYSELF. YOU MAY WANT TO THINK ABOUT BUILDING A FOOT BOX AND THEN BRING THE FIREWALL ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE CAR.
WHEN WE FIRST TOOK OUR SAND DUNE CARS OUT OF THE DUNES AND STARTED RACING THEM, THE RULES LOOKED LIKE ALOT OF OVER KILL, BUT TODAY I AGREE WITH THEM. MAYBE NSDA CAN GIVE YOU GUYS ONE RACE TO GET THE CARS UP TO DATE. AFTER ALL YOU NEED TO GET THEM TECHED FIRST BEFORE YOU KNOW WHAT NEEDS TOBE DONE.
HAVE FUN.
RACE ON
