How does the track enforce the rule of cars faster than 11.99 sec must have a roll bar or cage? Do our Viper qualify with the "roll bars" in the rear bulk head?

Spoke to the tech guy and he said;
Everyone needs a Snell '05 or later helmet.
Any car 11.49 or faster needs a SFI 32a jacket.
2008 or newer all stock coupes can run down to 10.0 without any other restrictions.
Convertibles 13.49 or faster need minimum 5 point roll bar and harnesses.
Older than '08 or modded coupes 11.49 or faster need a roll bar and harnesses along with helmet and jacket/suit.
If anyone thinks they will get close to the ET that requires the safety mods then just back out of the throttle near the end of the quarter to keep your time from being too fast.
If we get a group together and go right before they open, the tech guy said he will check us in separate from the others which he said will save us a bunch of time.
So come on out and "Run whatcha brung!" Non-Vipers are welcome too.
We are looking forward to getting back to the 1/4 mile. For those who have never run your car down the 1320, its quite a thrill to run flat out through the first 4 gears in a controlled, timed environment.
Lyle "lead foot" Larson will be running a quick Gen 1 car and Rick Hollis will be running the 1000hp "beast".
Yes lets all plan to meet and before the event and all get teched together.
Is this $20 per run?

$10 dollars to enter $10 dollars to run. I'm finding out how many runs for $10 .
I think it's as many runs as you want for $20 but the number of cars there will determine how many runs you can get in.
Dan C., Lyle, or Rick H. can any of you guys confirm?

Hey guys! I want to run too! But I don't have a jacket. :)
What size are you?
Probably small, depending on how the.sizes run
Lisa.
Lyle would be happy to loan you his for a couple runs.
He is pretty good that way.
Tell him that Paul says it is OK. (inside joke for Lyle Lyle Crocodile)
Yea, I thought that I could borrow his. Thanks Paul! ;D
Does anyone know if Hugh will be bringing his monster out? I'm not sure that he reads the forum. I hope he knows about this event. I would love to see him run his car.
Hugh has retired from racing but we are hoping to breathe some new life into that twin supercharged beast. Stay tuned.
Are you coming out to the event Randy?
I am planning on it, yes.
Matthew will be there and my brother in-law with his 2014 M5. 8)
Spoke with Don, the tech guy, and he said to line up behind his yellow pro street Chevy Luv and he will tech us separate from the general public. I told him we would be there at 7:30. Track goes hot at 9:00.
He also said cars have to be registered street legal and have insurance.
Here is the link to the rules.

Ben made special arrangements to have a special area for the So Cal Vipers get their cars tech inspected which was really nice.
