Good luck and a few questions for '08

Post by panhead_pete »

Hi guys have been lurking for a while but am starting to plan out my 08 trip to race. Couldnt come this year. I realise everyone will now be flat out preping so no rush to respond.

Next year Im planning on being there in this car, although probably highboy. Im starting to do a few mods for the 1/4 and really want to make sure those mods are consistent with DLRA requirements.

Please note its a Duece Customs Fibreglass body with a 4" (I think) roof chop from the mould.

I have been through the regs and this is what I think I'll be running. Is this correct?

- Class D Licence - just in case it runs above 125mph 8)
- Engine A - 499 Cube Caddy motor
- Vintage Class or altered coupe????

Now just a couple of questions???

- Will run a cage, even though I dont need to???? Any differences between DLRA and ANDRA?
- 4 pt OMP harness but will need a crotch strap too?
- Glass body - glass firewall???
- Do I need fire suppressions systems in the cabin and engine bay?

Thanks guys, once again have fun this year and thanks for your help.

Cheers
Pete

PS Damn Brootal which forums DONT you post on????? :D

Hiya Pete,

Welcome.

You find find a lot of difference between running on the salt and the drags.

Does that Coupe have a 9 Inch or Quick change ?

If so all you will need to do is change the gears for the salt from what you run at the drags.

Good Luck. I am sure a few others will add a comment for you with more advice.
