If anyone needs fuel, we will be selling Methanol again,as of now a drum will be $165, if you buy 2 barrels or more the price goes down. We also have race fuel available, but we don't stock it, so it must be ordered ahead of time, 110, 112, 114, 116 PM for race gas pricing. All fuel is available as whole drums only, we don't sell by the gallon.

Just to clarify, it's the date that they are concerned with (2000). The M rated helmets are still acceptable???.

Tech rule additions and chassis certification information 03-18-2015
Attention all racers, here are some additions to the IHRA tech rules that everyone needs to be aware of for the 2015 season:
Helmets: All classes must have Snell 2000 or newer. Snell 95 helmets ARE NOT PERMITTED IN ANY ET BRACKET CLASS.
Headers: Must have 4 welded tabs on collectors and 4 tabs on primary tubes - OR - A tethering device may be made from minimum 1/8” steel cable and T bolt clamps or muffler clamps with locking fasteners
Chassis certification is required if you are quicker than 9.00 seconds in the ¼ mile (6.00 second in the 1/8th mile), or faster than 150mph. There will be chassis certification at PRP on Saturday, April 11th; you must reserve a spot on the schedule. Cash only, $75 Sportsman (3 year tag, 7.50 cert), $100 Pro (2 year tag, 6.00 cert). The owner or driver must be present to sign paperwork. Appointments are every 15 minutes; contact tech@pittsburghracewaypark.com to schedule.
Note: Engine diapers are eventually going to be mandatory on all race only cars (street driven cars will be exempt from the requirement). PRP is currently working with a company to obtain a bulk order, which would enable the diapers to be offered to racer at a discounted price for a limited time. The number one reason for them is racer safety, as we have all seen what can happen when fluids get under the tires. It will also help us minimize down time in the program, which benefits racers and fans. No one likes to watch the Oil Dry Nationals!

Date.
Not sure why anyone would still be using a 95 helmet. As they expired back in 2007. Even a 2000 would be technically expired. Surprised IHRA uses that year in current rule book. As NHRA it is a 2005 and up.
Originally posted by Bob Deniker: I think the engine diaper is a great idea. They are cheap enough now that there should be no reason not to have one. I think there are a few other rules that you would have more gripes with than this.
It may be a pain at first, trying to figure out the best way to go, but from what I've read in the Tech section, manufactures will work with you to make custom ones. I am thankful that when I blew up the 455, it was at the top of first gear, not second or third. That may have become an OH SH!!!!!T moment, that a diaper could prevent.

Chassis certification clarification 04-02-2015 There has been some confusion regarding chassis certification, and what is accepted. Simply put, current IHRA chassis certification is required for all entries that are quicker than 9.00 in the 1/4 mile. It is the responsibility of the owner/driver to have current certification. Sportsman (7.50 and up, blue tag) is good for 3 years from the date issued, and Pro (7.50 and quicker, maroon tag) is good for 2 years from the date issued. Chassis certifications are still being scheduled for Saturday, April 11, and now also for Sunday, April 12.
Please refer to pages 72 (chassis certification), 105 (chassis certification information), and 108 (insurance information) in the IHRA rulebook. The link is below.
