What Hp would you throw one in or if you run at the track around what time frame is it needed ...i.e 12.00 sec 11.00 sec....and so forth

Helmets required at a 13.99 and faster.
Roll bars are required in a vert running faster than a 13.99 and in 11.99+faster coupes.

It also depends on the state.


PA didnt require a helmet until 13.99 or faster. NJ required it for all times. Of course that could be just helmets.

I would check out the tracks website. They should have a link to what whats required.

Well if its a NHRA track it really shouldn't matter?

I imagine the track will have a section up with safety requirements as well

even if NHRA does not require it for you speed then i still would suggest to have at least a roll-bar and a helmet. If you are running it at any track once you pass 60mph then some serious damage can happen. I suggest always having at least those two.

even a roll-bar like this will work great in the case of a roll-over at the track.
