I have a question about the rules for drag racing, I need to know if you need to wear a fire retardant suit when you are running nitrous oxide at that track. I asked a couple of buddies and got mixed answers from them.

Well this is my first time racing, but my father has been racing since 2008, and never wore a fire retardant suit. Just long pants, shoes, and a t-shirt. That was all motor though. I will be spraying nitrous though and have no idea on whether or not I will be hassled for not having a fire retardant suit on.

I don't think the car will be running any faster than an 11.5 in the quarter.
What do they mean by DEEP?

DEEP on the window means deep stage. Which is turning off the first staging light before the ready lights.Originally posted by Junior SmurffNevermind guys, google search works wonders!
