Where can I see a list of rules (tech stuff) that are needed for the 11.5 and 10.0 index classes?

Are they going to be strict about the cage in the 10.0 class?

When I ran a 10.99.............written on my slip was "rollbar"?
Yes, I have a 6 point................quicker than 11.50 down to 10.0 you need at least a 5 point by the book.

Well, darn. Mine hasn't come in yet So I guess I'm not going to be able to outrun all ya'll in the 10.0 class.

Now I have to figure out how to slow my car down enough to run the 11.50 class.

Only goes 10.0s with one stage of gas, the other stage is for making the magic happen Did I mention it still has A/C and oh yeah that's on factory rims and drag radials.

Hey Redgar, just to make sure I read this right, there are NO noise restrictions right?
I was thinking of just installing turn downs on the vert instead of my Ti exuast and see if it gives me anything (other than a head ache)

Thanks
