Opinions & comments are welcome.
Just a general guideline.
Not the final say so.
Need to read the NHRA Rule Book.

Convertibles & T- Buckets with no rollcage can only run 13.50 ET 1/4 mile.

Vintage Musclecar Coupes & Sedans can run to 11.50 ET 1/4 mile no Rollcage.

2008 & Newer Coupes like Corvette & Hellcats can run to 10.000 ET 1/4 mile no Rollcage.
 
You need to get a book and reading it will better help you understand that street is a class like pro stock is a class the street class is not geared towards street driven cars most of them are trailered to the track classes are ET brakes and safety is geared towards race only cars that race weekend in weekend out So you can take your convertible 68 vett to the track and run 10s in it with just a helmet ⛑ but dont try to join points with the same car without all the safety gear per your capable ET and expect to race every weekend
 
Just too much money for the average guy to race in today's world. No fun in that and if it's your daily driver and it breaks, you can't hardly afford to fix it. JMTCW
And don't get me started on the cost just to get in to watch.

I have been charged with Street Drag Racing.
It cost me over $2,000 to hire my Lawyer.
It got dropped in court 1 year later.
It was 22 years ago.

It costs $15 to race on weeknights and Sundays here at the track.

Since you can only run 13.5 ET in a Open bodied T-bucket Street tires will do.
Costs very low.
 
At most tracks your be able to run your T-bucket with just a helmet and seat belt call around first and see my local track you could take time passes with it but your never be allowed to compete in a points race without the safety gear
 
I have raced at enough tracks that this information is really more dependent on where the tracks are located and what the ownership determines. Some tracks tech you in when you hand them the money for the entry, other tracks have a once or twice a year tech inspection and others will tech you every time you show up to race. Bottomline is that your safety is not the tracks or the tech inspectors responsibility - it is YOUR responsibility. I have seen it seems like just about everything at one time or another, I have lost racing friends to accidents that you can't come up with answer too. And don't get me wrong I get irritated at changing seat belts that are damn near brand new and buying new helmets every 5 years but I worry about my safety. And I think other racers should worry about theirs. And when a tech inspector points out something that needs correction - thank them and take care of it. Sure, you might be ticked about spending the money and time but if it makes you just a touch safer, it's worth it.
