    Attention all drivers racing at Wall Stadium.

    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.

    Racin in Jersey, gota love it...been there for two years and they are strick...at Bridgeport they actully removed one of my seat bolts and measured it...I had 8 1/2" bolts and 4 5/8" were required... and they still shot me down my first race... as far as the R/F wheel, I beleive it has to be a "Special racing hub" or atlease chained or cabled to prevent its loss...which I still never figured out how you can do that, maybe chain it to the hub...??? This is going to be fun stil wont be there first time around, but diffenetly in JULY

    Dam those tech nazis of NJ. Even when I drive in straight lines,(drag racing) The state requires you to have a licence to go 9.99 e.t or faster. Every year they dream up somthing new to make costs go up. Next a licence to go in circles????

    Wall is not a NASCAR track nor does that have anything to do with regulations.
    Wall and every New Jersey track is governed by New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission under State law, thus the heavy rules there.
    Some states run racing tracks like this and some, like New York, don't.
    You really have to look at it as being safer for yourselves racing at the fast, high banked 1/3 mile!!!!
    And I do believe only a re-enforced rim will do for the right front wheel.
    As Joe mentioned, as more detailed info comes, he will let all know the specifics.

    Thumbs down Ooooooh... Reinforcement...



    I like reinforcement.



    If I wanted to be safe, I would never get out of bed.

    I want to RACE, and those BS NJ Nazis are preventing me from doing it.

    Let me point out two things here....

    First off, there will be no negotiation here as I stated before for one reason...see the next item...

    Secondly...NEETS will NOT be doing the safety inspections. Wall Stadium Officials will be performing the safety inspections... This is why I just want everyone to be on the same level here and understand why I don't want to see people asking if they will still need nomex underwear if they wear two fire suits or whatever... EVEN IF we were to discuss changes to the rules here and I were to agree with you and say yes to it...they will still say no... So, please keep that in mind before you do try to email me or post something up here...the rules are pretty much in stone, so don't try to change things...just understand it............the words of a true nazi....sorry!!!!

    I am all for safety in racing...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.
    Race hard, race clean and live to race another day.

    Amen to dat ! Rather eat dirt then chew on nails! Im all about saftey too. Especially at 150+ on the dragstrip. In both worlds of racing there is no substitute to saftey. I have no tolarance for pain. Nor can I afford it.
