Per the NHRA rule book for the drag strip you will need a Snell M2005 or Snell SA2005 or newer Helmet the M2000 AND SA2000 are no longer acceptable. The Snell approved 2005 helmets are good till 1/1/2017 . The Snell 2010 are good till 1/1/2022

Same helmet rules for the CamaroCross.

I'm not well-versed on the convertible rules, though. I know you'll need a roll bar, but I forget at which speeds - so I'll let mlee chime in.

13.49 or faster the convertible requires a roll cage.

Does not matter... You can always lift before you hit the finish and just use your 1/8th mile times to extrapolate from.

I'm not sure but I think you have to have a helmet for auto cross no matter what, right? Pretty sure this was the rule last year. I would think you'd want a helmet no matter what your speed anyway. Just safety!

Yes, the CamaroCross will require a helmet for all participants. There is no time cutoff, or limits with different rules.

Convertible tops must be up at all times on the drag strip.

I ran AC last year in my vert, top down, helmet on. Going to try the strip this year just gotta get on the whoa pedal to not break out 13.49... Miss my coupe in this regard!

One question I never got answered last year, can I have a passenger in both the autocross and dragstrip. The wife really wants to "ride along". Any rules against this, as long as we both have helmets?
