"not sure about the harness rating."
16.1 belts need to be replaced every 2 years. Check the date punched on the belt tags, if over 2 years, replace them. You can sometimes sell your outdated belts to racers who don't need dated belts (11.50 and slower).
"window net"
SFI 27.1, replaced every 2 years, (required when a cage is required) at either 9.99 with unaltered floor and firewall or 10.99 with floor altered in excess of 4 sq. ft. (not counting wheel tubs) or firewall altered in excess of 1 sq. ft.)
"trans blanket"
SFI 4.1, fabric type replaced every 2 years, aluminum type replaced every 5 years, required at 10.99. Some aftermarket tranny cases have the 4.1 certification built into them, so that no external blow-up shield is required.
"clothing"
SFI 3.2A/1 jacket at 11.49, SFI 3.2A/5 jacket and pants, 3.3/1 gloves and 3.3 neck collar at 9.99
"helmet"
Minimum Snell 90, replace every 15 years. Make sure the Snell tag in affixed to the shock material under the fabric innerliner, usually in the back or over the left ear. "SA" included in the tag i.d. incicates "special application" (Nomex).
"If I keep it slower than 11.99, I won't need most of this stuff, right?"
If the tech inspector determines that the truck can run 9's, he might insist you have all equipment to go 9's. (What if you banged the wall, were knocked unconscious and the throttle stuck wide open?) Be very, very nice to the tech inspector.
And, as Gary mentioned, you'll also need a chassis certification and competition license at 9.99, along with a SFI 29.1 flexplate and 30.1 flexplate shield. Some aftermarket tranny cases have the 30.1 built into them.
If the battery has been relocated, make sure the master cutoff switch is on the rearmost part of the truck and that it kills the motor as well as all electrical functions.Last edited by techinspector1; 04-25-2005 at 06:18 PM.
