We are going to add a 10.90 class for next year. Not sure on a name for the class so lets throw out some ideas

It will be a test class to see if we really do get competitors to show up and compete in this class

So that means no National points chase but if does well then it will be added to the 2016 points series

Have a great new year

You could call it " The B I t c h y Whiny take my Ball with ME class" :evil

Looking forward to giving it a try
 
How about super street like the 10.90 class in ihra ? Then change "super (not so) street " to unlimited street or something more fitting

Well, they do. Now it will be really bad as they have no events for the NHRDA, but the class they all begged for is there.

At least they have the Outlaw series now and they can tell us all how awesome it is! bif

Shouldn't the helmet requirement be for SA rated Snell helmets not M rated Snell helmets?

The SA helmets are for automotive use and are fire resistant while the M helmets are for motorcycle use and are not fire resistant... The visor opening and fastener is also more tightly regulated in the SA rated helmets.
 
This wording needs to be changed in the first body of rules, padding is required but SFI 45.1 padding is not required till 9.99ET:
• NHRA and/or IHRA approved roll bar and SFI 45.1 roll cage padding required

While the rule listed below is a good rule to keep slower trucks from entering the class, it will limit the # of entries and realistically an 11.50 truck could be competitive in this class with an excellent driver. Just state that drivers exceeding their safety equipment will be DQ'd with no warning during eliminations. This rule could probably be added to both this 10.90 index class and the Super Street Class if the classes get too many double and triple class drivers from Sportsman, and 11.90 class. But at the start, it will be nice to have a bigger field, more entry fees for NHRDA, more competition for the class participants.
• Vehicle must be certified to run 11.49 seconds and faster

This rule is irrelevant in an index class that could end up with odd ball project vehicles that may not be street legal, I think it should be removed:
• Working taillight required. Flashing ,blinking , or strobe lights prohibited

We are not trying to make a catch all class

Everyone wanted a 10 second class so if you cant pass tech and cant run 10s then run super diesel or sportsman

Helmut specs came directly from SFI since we are an ASO of NHRA we have to follow their guidelines
