>
> 10.00 and slower cars without full OEM or .024 firewall: a 3.2A/5 jacket AND 3.3/1 gloves Mandatory.

> closed bodied cars 9.99 and faster with OEM or .024 steel firewall - 3.2A/5 jacket and panets, as well as 3.3/1 gloves

Whether or not NYIRP or Lancaster will actually enforce this remains to be seen. But for you drag racers out there, something to consider.

When they say non oem turbo does that include turbo cars with non oem turbos?
For example Evolutions with after market turbos.:snky:
