If you go to any NHRA track and run the car on a regular bracket day or a test and tune day......A track official can and may tell you a trans shield is required on a 10 second car.

The rulebook has always had issues in there like this.

A Stocker did not need a fire jacket when a bracket car did in the past.
Now Stockers need jackets and pants so it's not an issue anymore.
A Stocker may not need a trans shield at an NHRA race where Stock is run but it does if it is a 10 second car at a regular bracket or T&T day...

I never had one but did see one is made for a Metric......
