Coool! I hope my car is on the road by then. I wanna come see you race :p Is your car all stock?
Sorry for the OT, that got me excited :D
I think it just has to be a DOT approved helmet, but don't quote me on that. |

Wear shoes, not sandals.
Wear at least a t-shirt, no wife beaters
Wear pants, not shorts
Have a battery tie down and a coolant overflow tank, don't be dripping fluids. Tires should be in good shape, no cords showing.
Helmet that is made in the last 7 years should pass, if not they have (had last year anyway) helmets to loan if you give up your ID.
$25 for drivers, $10 for spectators. |

No actually, it can't be a bungy cord. The battery tie down needs to be metal and bolted down. |

| Seeing how you say basically any helmet will work in the past 7 years, do you think a ski-do helmet would pass tech? |

| What is rule 13 under street tech??? What's this driveshaft loop thing? |
|
|
| ChromeDragon |
| It is a metal loop attached to the underside of your car that runs around the driveshaft. This is required in case you blow apart a U-joint to prevent the car from doing a pole vault. I saw a car do it once, wasn't as funny as you'd imagine. |

To further - it's a cheap part, like 30-50 and is GREAT insurance if you're putting down any sort of power in a RWD vehicle. |

This will sound stupid, but how will I know if I have this part or not??? Sounds like it could be a worthy investment if not... |

| The hanger Bearing on a silvia or other cars is considered a driveshaft loop. Many cars already have on. Its mainly for cars with a solid rear axle that can't have a hanger bearing because the driveshaft and differential move up and down with the suspension. |
