Advice,tips and knowledge on .90 racing NHRA

[Ray Gottry]

Nice car and good runs! To add to Jeff's post I highly recommend roll bar padding and a neck brace or Hans (type device) also put the face shield down, doesn't help much in a fire in the up position. You will also need an engine diaper, balancer and shields for your trans if you don't already have them. Some of these items need to be SFI certified. The rule book will be a great place to start. Just go through the list and check each one off.

I would recommend Super Street first to get your feet wet, then maybe move up to Super Gas. I ran Super Street for years and it was a lot of fun.

Haven't raced in years, so I am sure that things have changed but I get a rule book every year and try to keep up.

Great video, which camera are you using?

Good Luck!

That's kinda what I'm afraid of ausby. Problem is, I live near Cadillac MI, closest divisional race to me would be Indy or Norwalk. We have one non sanctioned track, one closed up for now, the others are IHRA tracks. So this was just kind of a bucket list thing. All we have around me is bracket racing. Nothing wrong with it, grew up watching my family race. But just wanting to try something different.

Is that a Fairmont in your display pic?

Thanks Ray. Making a list. As far as camera, I use a go pro hero 7. Seems to work pretty well so far.
