That's a good question, which is answered in the 2017 rulebook under General Regulations 2:14 . Which basically says if the car goes faster than 10.99 it needs a shield , and if faster than 9.99 it needs a flexplate and a flexplate shield , unless it is noted under the class requirements .

It's kind of a tough read, but it looks like 10.99 and quicker.

That's the reason I asked, why does NHRA have to make it so hard to understand their rules, simple wording would suffice.

Back in the mid 60s I saw a guy in a 442 trash his foot real good doing what is now a transbrake start. Rev in neutral and punch the LOW button. I have an SFI bellhousing, flexplate and trans shield no matter what the rules require. I like my feet where they are...

This is why I buy a rule book every year . It is good to keep up on all the current rules !

A transmission and flexplate shield are not noted as Class Requirements in Stock Eliminator with an automatic transmission.

But it would be silly not to use them!

Did they write the new ones in understandable English?
