We are diligently working on formulating the rules to meet NJ State Law requirements.
There are a few 'red flag' items that need to be addressed and will be discussed in much detail before the race. I will list the items here and as always, these will be open for discussion...as far as interpretation, not negotiation.
Major issues
Starting with the driver:
1. All drivers must have fire-proof nomex underwear.
2. One or two piece firesuit is required.
3. Fire-proof shoes must be worn, fire-resistant gloves are mandatory for NJ races.
4. NO motorcycle helmets, no open-faced helmets, must be Snell Rating 2000.
5. Neck collar is mandatory.
Safety equipment:
1. Seat-belts must be no more than 2 years old.
2. 4-point roll cage at a minimum must be installed.
3. 4-point harnesses must be installed (4-pt minimum.)
The cars:
1. Windshield may be stock so long as there are no chips or cracks.
2. Stock rear view mirrors only, no race mirrors.
3. Any fuel tank mounted behind the rear axle must have rear end support guarding the tank.
3.Cars with carbs can run a 350 Holly car...no 500 carbs...stock manifold with 350 is ok.
4. A safety hub or reinforced wheel must be located on right front.
SFI Rated padding...
SFI-45 rated padding must be installed on any bars located within 18" of the driver. <--this issue is still in debate, so please wait for a deidcated answer on a new thread on this issue before any discussion begins.
Pre-race tech:
Safety inspection will be performed by Wall Stadium Safety Officials. All drivers must bring ALL safety gear with them to this inspection. Wall officials reserve the right to not allow drivers the ability to race.
NEETS Tech official will be heavily tech inspecting all vehicles prior to race, please see the current procedural rules regarding this standard.
Again, these issues must be brought to everyone's attention prior to the event...we will be discussing more details into these items as more information is provided to us.
Thank you.

Ooooooh... Reinforcement...
...but. The cost to convert to NJ State Laws will set me back over $200. My belts are just over two years years old. The new roll bar padding is a big chunk of change at close to $15 per stick and I was also told the fuel line can not run through the drivers compartment. I have already expended my racing budget of $1000 on safety equipment for the 2009 season so if anyone would like to sponsor new belts and padding feel free to call me. Otherwise I will stay in PA and race safely as I usually do.
