Goin for first time

Gonna head out to dragway 42 this friday and was wondering if leather pants and boots are a requirement to run? This would be my first time taking it out to a legit strip.

Re: Goin for first time

At my local track, if you aren't wearing full leathers, don't go below a certain time. I believe it was 10.99 or faster you had to have full leathers. May have been faster, but I've only heard this through the grapevine? Otherwise, you would be pulled off the track.

i run at memphis and if you go faster than 120 you have to have leather pants. otherwise you have to have a leather jacket, helmet, tethered kill switch, chain guard, and boots that cover your ankle. other tracks might be different.

if you go faster than 120 most tracks will want you in full leathers
