Proper Use of Safety Equipment

Seat belts must be worn and adjusted so the driver’s torso and head cannot extend outside the roll cage. Loosening or removal of seat belts, helmets, gloves, window nets, lifting of helmet shields, or removal of any safety equipment is prohibited from the time the vehicle leaves the ready line until it is on the return road.

Fire bottle safety pins or clips must be removed from fire suppression controls during this same time period. Fresh air systems must be on and provide airflow to the driver’s helmet from the time the vehicle leaves the ready line until the vehicle is on the return road.

Violators will be subject to disciplinary action at the sole and absolute discretion of US 60 Dragway.


Technical Inspection

Prior to competition, all cars and drivers must pass an initial technical and safety inspection. After a car has been inspected and classified, no class changes are permitted unless authorized by a US 60 Dragway official.

US 60 Dragway technical and safety inspectors may re-inspect any car or driver at any time during the event. If non-compliance is found, the participant may be disqualified. US 60 Dragway reserves the right to inspect any vehicle at any time. Deviations or exceptions may be permitted if US 60 Dragway officials determine they do not provide a competitive advantage.
