NHRA Rules Applicable to BMW Street Cars

Here are the relevant rules for ANDRA certified tracks for street cars.

My summary:

1.3 Exhaust: All street stock must be equipped with functioning mufflers and may be required to meet maximum decibel levels at certain facilities (95 dB at 30 metres for WSID).

1.12 Supercharger: Screw type supercharger prohibited.

1.15 Vent Tubes, Breathers: Tubes must terminate into a permanently attached catch tank with min capacity of 1 gallon. ANDRA may introduce mandatory breather systems on all nitrous injected and/or boosted engines.

2.4 Driveline: All RWD 13.99 or quicker with slicks and 11.49 or quicker with street tyres must have a tailshaft loop.

2.5 Flywheel: Stock cast type flywheels prohibited for cars running 11.49 or quicker. Must use SFI Spec 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4.

2.10 Flywheel shield: 11.99 or quicker require a flywheel shield SFI 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 or 9.1.

2.14 Automatic transmission: Quicker than 10.99 or faster than 135 MPH require transmission shield meeting SFI spec 4.1

4.4 Frames: All cars running 10.99 or quicker must have a serialized chassis sticker affixed to the frame (ANDRA issued).

4.8 Parachutes: Mandatory for cars 140 MPH or faster.

4.10 Roll bars: Mandatory in cars 11.49 or quicker. Mandatory for convertibles 13.49 or quicker.

4.11 Roll cage: Mandatory in cars 10.99 or quicker or faster than 140 MPH. Cars with unaltered firewall, floor and body running between 10.00 and 10.99 roll bar permitted in place of roll cage. I do not believe that this applies to a convertible: they require a rollcage.

6.3 Window net: A ribbon type SFI Spec 27.1 mesh type window net is mandatory on any car required to have a roll cage.

8.2 Delay Boxes/ Devices: Prohibited in all vehicles.

8.4 Master Cutoff: Mandatory if battery is relocated or if car is 140 MPH or faster or 10.99 or quicker.

9.1 Computer: Traction control prohibited.

10.3 Arm Restraints: Required for any car that must have a roll cage. Convertibles require arm restraints if 11.99 or quicker.

10.4 Credentials: Each driver must have a valid driver's licence or ANDRA competition licence. A new driver who has not previously held a competition licence will be given the blindfold test and will be required to make a minimum of 6 runs under the observation of two licenced drivers and a designated NHRA official.

10.5 Driver Restraint Systems: Quick release 5 point 3 inch harness SFI Spec 16.1 mandatory in cars that are required to have a roll bar or roll cage.

10.6 Head Protector: In any car with roll bar or roll cage a padded head protector must be provided at the rear of the driver's head. Also required if car 140 MPH or faster.

10.7 Helmets: Drivers must wear an SFI or SNELL approved helmet. 13.99 or quicker require Snell 90, 95 K98, 2000, SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, 41.1A or 41.2A specs.

10.8 Neck Collar/Helmet Restraint Device: Required with helmet.

10.10 Protective Clothing: Drivers are required to have as a minimum:
- 11.49 to 10.00: Jacket meeting SFI Spec 3.2A/1. All drivers are required to wear full length pants to the ankle, shoes and socks. Nylon clothes and open toe shoes prohibited.

10.11 Seat belts: All cars not required to use 5 point 3" wide SFI Spec 16.1 harnesses must be equipped with accepted quick release driver seat belt.
