Car Safety Requirements
These are just some of highlights of the safety requirements for cars; you will need to purchase a rulebook to ensure your total compliance.

John.

John call Stroud Safety and Talk to Bill... or call Joe Timney

They can give you the tech mumbo jumbo,,,,

a few items that constitute  LSR chutes
longer  lines, a tad slower deployment time, softer more controlled "hit"  to name a few...

[John (Maryland)]

I am specifically trying to meet the defined rules for payment LSR since the land speed parachute term is specific.

Great chart Joe!  I would suggest that you slightly modify the titles to read

"To go between 151-175...
To go between 176-200.."

etc so it is clear that the '175'is a Max speed and not a Min speed.

Helmet question . . .  for cars up to 135 mph can the "Snell 2005 or 2010 full-face helmet with face shield"  be an 'M' helmet or must it be an 'SA' helmet?    Thanks . . .

For you Art? I think an NFL mouthguard is also indicated.

[Joe Timney]

SA helmets have a fireproof lining, M does not. SA is reqiured.

HI Joe

just noticed your link states between 150 and 175 we need arm restraints and full door net. But the rule book still states between 135 and 175 arm restraints or full door net.

Fred,
Thank you for finding the error...it has been fixed.

[Fheckro]

on the ECTA web page is says 175 and over.

can someone please clarify?

Thanks

Fred,
For 2013, this will be the rule for head & neck restraint and lateral movement:
3.A.3 Driver's Helmet Support:
It is important to control side motion of the hips, shoulders and head in the event of a crash.
Forward movement: All cars over 175 mph shall have an engineered, tested and approved SFI spec 38.1 type head and neck restraint system.
Lateral movement: The seat or roll cage structure shall provide restriction to lateral head and body movement of less than 2 in. per side inclusive of structure deflection for vehicles over 175 MPH. See Section 3.B.1.

Rear movement: See Section 3.C.
