    As we are concentrating on the entry level street type events we will cover the basics that are required to compete.

    While all safety equipment is important none is more important than your helmet. Below is a list of approved helmet standards required for Drag Racing at Perth Motorplex;

    SNELL SA2000, SA2005, SFI 31.2A (US)
    Note: For Cars only


    SNELL M2000, M2005, SFI 41.2A (US)
    Note: For Motorcycles only


    AS/NZS 1698:2006 (AS/NZS 1698)
    Note: Suitable for both Cars and Motorcycles

    For vehicles slower than 10.999 in the quarter mile open or full face helmets meeting one of the above standards is ok.

    Note: Cars quicker than 11.000 and Bikes quicker than 10.000 must use Full Face Helmets bearing one of the markings above. Also the helmet must be in good condition both inside and out.

    Ok, now we have the helmet situation sorted we move on to clothing;
    For Street Cars you will need long sleeve shirt or jacket, long pants and covered in shoes and socks.
    For Street Bikes you will need a leather or purpose made riding jacket, long pants and covered shoes and socks. (leather gloves are highly recommended)

    Ok that's about it for our personal safety items, now it's time to go racing!

    although, now I think about it, will probably end up breaking that instead! and that would suck even more!!.. harder to get parts for the Starlet

    hmm
