None of that stuff is legal for road racing except maybe the harness if you get one that is certified. The kill switch needs to be installed within reach of a belted in driver, in drag racing the kill switch is mounted on the rear bumper for some reason? You'll need a full fire suit, socks, shoes, gloves, etc., and an SA rated helmet. Minimum 6 point roll cage with at least two door bars, drag cages also require bars in different locations than road race cages.


The main reason you can go faster at MMP with less safety equipment is the track is vasty safer to drive on. It has been designed with ample run off room and safety equipment.

Incorrect timmay.
11.49 and quicker you need
5point roll bar
5 point harness
single layer fire jacket
scatter shield
drive shaft loop
SFI harmonic dampener

9.99 and quicker you need a 5 layer jacket, pants, gloves, neck collar, shoes, 8point cage min, window net, cutoff switch scatter shield, ect ect.

I am pretty sure that is going to be a dealer only item. For installing depends on where you live for what shop to go to. Do you live in SLC or where?

Heads Up All.
II'm sure all of you have seen or heard of the mustang cops, but on Sat I saw a totally undercover, black, regular plated New Dodge Challenger SRT8. So watch it everyone
