Clean out your PM box!!! I do have an extra helmet. You will need to contact "chuck baker". He is a CF member. He has it. Tell him you need to use it. What kind of rollbar are you talking about? Your coupe should be fine with the top on. Unless you run faster than 10.99. Convertibles are something like 13.49 or faster.

I hear ya! I worked threw the weekend. I am looking forward to Friday afternoon.

I found this on the NHRA website:

Do I need a helmet, and if so, what kind?

A helmet is required for the driver of any car or truck running 13.99 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and for the rider of any motorcycle. Most drivers can use a helmet meeting SNELL K98, M2000, SA2000, M2005, or SA2005 specifications. Professional category and some alcohol burning vehicles require an SA rated helmet. It is important to note that the helmet rating must be designated on a tag INSIDE the helmet, or sewn to one of the helmet straps. The designation stenciled on the exterior of the helmet is insufficient for NHRA technical inspection. Also, some tracks require a helmet on ALL drivers, so check in advance.

When do I need a roll bar or roll cage, and what should it look like?

A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.49. The roll bar is accepted in vehicles running as quick as 10.00 second e.t., provided the stock firewall and floorboard is intact, other than for installation of wheel tubs. The rollbar must be constructed of minimum 1 ¾ inch o.d. x .118 inch wall mild steel tubing, or 1 ¾ x .083 chrome moly tubing, and must conform to the following diagram:

Hey Patrick,

I did a search on chuck baker with no results. I looked, because I went to school with a chuck baker and was wondering if it was him. Any other way to get a hold of him?


Thanks, Randy
