I want to bring my motorcycle out for one of the Test & Tune sessions. What is required?
Most M/C will pass tech inspection if they are in the OEM condition (I.E.; - not modified) except 3 wheel motorcycles (not permitted). However many large displacement M/C's are capable of achieving elapsed times and speeds that require extra items not found as standard equipment. If your M/C runs slower than 10.99 seconds (6.99 in 1/8th mile) or slower than 120 MPH in the 1/4 mile we will check for the following items:
- Valid (unrestricted) state issued drivers license or NHRA competition license
- Self returning (snap back) throttle
- Operating front and rear brakes
- Foot operated shifters only - No hand shifters permitted
- OEM chain guard or one constructed to meet NHRA specs
- One functional tail light mandatory
- A Snell (2005 or newer) certified full coverage helmet with original face shield (no goggles permitted)
- Leather jacket or abrasion resistant SFI spec racing style jacket mandatory
- Leather gloves with Kevlar lining or slide buttons on the palm/heel area required
- Leather boots which cover the ankle area mandatory
If your M/C is capable of times quicker than 10.99 (6.99 in 1/8th) you must install a lanyard and switch to cut off the ignition system should you become separated from the M/C. Lanyard may be attached to OEM ignition cutoff switch.
If your M/C is capable of exceeding 120 MPH in the 1/4 mile you must wear full leathers or two piece leathers that zip together at the waist.
If your M/C runs 9.99 (6.39 in 1/8th) or 135 MPH consult the NHRA rule book for licensing requirements.
