I Accidentally went too fast !!
 

With all this "Fast" talk about AA, A and B, I have a question....let me set the stage: I have a really fast B stocker, or a fast A stocker or respectable AA stocker. I've been through tech, and made a good qualifying run, or maybe eliminations have started. The air changes, tail wind picks up, I tuned it up,... whatever..., and I go out and run 9.999. I'm not licensed to go 9.999. I don't have 9.999 safety equipment - trans shield, fire suit, gloves, neck support, Full certified cage (any or all ) etc. What happens now?

You'll be warned not to do it again.

That has happened to me. Nothing was done or said. Great air and track picked the car up quite a bit from where it usually runs. I am sure you wouldn't want to do that on a regular basis though. My car has all the required certs though.

You guys are a bunch of comedians!.... I wonder how you'd feel if it was YOU I beat, in a double breakout, when I went 9.999? - lol - .....I guess it's OK, I'd promise not to do it again.

Jokes aside, if my car ran consistantly within .08 or so of a point at which major changes like going from a roll bar to a cage kick in, I'd add all the safety gear and work to get that ET down there.

Ask Joe Martins it happened to him.

Happened to several of us. Either warned, or not noticed & mentioned. I would not want to do it a car not certified to run that fast.
