NHRA finally updates rules!!
For a long time the NHRA street car rules like "you must have a roll bar for any convertible running 13.99 and quicker" and "you must have a driveshaft safety loop" are now dead. These reflect the changing times i.e. safer cars from the factory and w/ the rise of street racing it makes the track more accessible. Now you don't have to have anything extra untill you're < 11.5.

My track is satisfied for insurance purposes as long as it is in writing by NHRA. They apply the rules to any racing, be it bracket/elim's or test and tune.
Read the rules on what a Pure Stock car is though. Power-adders are red flag type of deals.
IMO - this rule is best for the verts out there that used to have to hold their car back from dipping below 14.00 or they get they boot. Now verts can run to 11.5 so long as they meet the Pure Stock criteria.
