I found this on www.colescountydragwayusa.com/
Questions: One of my racing buddies said he heard that I would need to replace my roll-cage padding before I race in 2011. Is this correct?
Answer: In the 2011 NHRA Rulebook on page 5 of section 4A, E.T. Handicap Racing, Roll-Cage Padding it states “Beginning June 1, 2011, roll-cage padding meeting SFI Spec 45.1 mandatory on any vehicle running 9.99 (*6.39) and quicker. Padding must be used anywhere driver’s helmet may come in contact with roll-cage components.” This not only applies to E.T. Handicap Racing but to any class or vehicle that runs 9.99 (*6.39) or quicker. Looking at a racing parts catalog you can purchase a 3-foot piece of SFI Spec 45.1 Roll-Cage Padding for under $20.
