Don,

Suspension optional 2,350# or less with 100" or longer wheelbase. If overweight or underlength, front suspension required. Solid mount rear ok.

Good to 6.00 ET with rear wheel brakes only, in open-bodied car. Bodied cars require 4-wheel brakes at 7.49

10.00 and slower- SFI 3.2A/1 jacket, SFI 3.3/1 gloves, arm restraints, Snell full-face M2000, M2005, K98, K2005, SA2000, SA2005 helmet with helmet shield or helmet with goggles. Can also use SFI 41.2A or 31.2A helmet. If auto trans in driver's compartment with no floor over it, 3-2A/15 jacket and pants, SFI 3.3/5 gloves and SFI 3.2A/5 boots or shoes. SFI 4.1 auto trans shield, SFI 18.1 harmonic damper, aftermarket axles required at 10.99. Neck collar required at 135 mph, no matter the ET.

9.99-6.00 SFI 3.2A/5 jacket and pants, SFI 3.3/1 gloves, arm restraints, Snell SA2000, SA2005 or SFI 31.2A full-face helmet with shield mandatory. Goggles prohibited. 7.50 or 6.00 chassis cert tag. Competition driver's license. SFI 29.1 flexplate if auto and SFI 30.1 flexplate shield. Neck collar or HANS. If wearing HANS with no collar, must wear separate SFI 3.3 Nomex head sock or use skirted helmet with sock built in. Helmet skirt must display SFI 3.3 tag.
(neck collar serves two purposes, keeps the head steady and prevents fire from coming up in the helmet. That's the reason for the head sock if no collar). You can, of course, wear the HANS and the collar without the sock, but it gets a little bulky.

I'm just skimming over the top. If you want the whole skinny, get a NHRA 2008 Rulebook and call me on my cell. Will leave the # on PM.
