Full face helmet clarification please
 

When do you absolutely have to wear a full face helmet for Superstock Competition?
Is it required by Class only or ET only?
How is the rule being enforced at DIV and Nationals?

Re: Full face helmet clarification please
 

my understanding is 9.99 or quicker on the scoreboards

Earlier in the year I read that if your class is required to have the 9.99 or quicker NHRA COMPETITION LICENSE you would be required to have a Full Face Helmet.

Can Anyone clarify? Please

Chad would be correct. I was reprimanded by NHRA Tech for running nines in Stock with no full face helmet and no license earlier this year. The tech official wrote on the top & my tech card and highlighted "Cannot run Faster than 10.00". I then got the license and the helmet.

Give your Div Tech Director a call, He will give you the answer

Craig,

Did you have to submit a physical and take a drivers test etc, to get your liscense?

Thanks,

You must have your physical in hand to make passes to get your license. If you are over 55 you must have an EKG.

Mike,

Yes on both. I showed up at the points race in Cecil, Georgia with a physical in hand and had to make 6 passes, gradually faster & faster at the Thursday test session. Once a couple of licensed racers signed off on me, NHRA Tech removed the 10 flat restriction for the race and I was officially licensed.

We were told by a Division 1 tech that the full face helmet was required but the SS license requirements were not in play for Stock.

Bruce,
Well, I guess I'll be legal for sure when Stock is combined with Super Stock. By the way, how's the Corvette coming?

Wesley told me in Houston if you run 9.99 or quicker he would give a friendly reminder to show up at the next race with a full face helmet.

Hey Craig. Yes, you sure will have your paper work in order no matter where you go.

Hope to have the Corvette out before the fall races. Still lots of work to do but getting closer.
