yea 13.99-12.00 then at 11.99-10.99 you need SFI jacket, 5 points, and a roll bar also

not just the roll bar, you were wrong about the belts and jacket too :P Mission is NHRA so I think they have to comply with the NHRA rules? dunno


Beginning Jan. 1, 2005, a roll bar and an SFI 16.1 driver-restraint system will be mandatory on any vehicle running 11.49 or quicker and for convertibles running 13.49 or quicker. An SFI 3.2A/1 jacket will be mandatory for all drivers in vehicles running between 10.00 to 11.49 seconds. On any car running 11.49 or quicker, a flywheel and clutch meeting SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2 and a flywheel shield meeting SFI Spec 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, or 9.1 will be mandatory. A driveshaft loop will be required on all cars running 13.99 or quicker and utilizing slicks, except vehicles equipped with street tires running 11.49 or slower.

well if the roll bar changed to 11.49 then obviously the belts and jacket did too, cuz you dont need that stuff till you get a roll bar. either way i would never go 11.50's with no safety equip. dumb imo
