150 MPH Club Rules
Revised 01/06
• All drivers must be members of USFRA, hold a valid state drivers license, and sign a loss damage waiver to participate.
• Successful completion of the technical inspection and payment of fees will allow as many timed passes on the course as the car/driver can make during the meet depending on the number of entrants.
• An acceptable speed indicator is required so the driver has an indication of the car's speed at any point on the course.
• An initial "licensing" pass at 125 mph will be required for all drivers to get the "feel" of the salt and to calibrate on board speed gauge equipment. i.e.; tachometer, speedometer, etc.
• Maximum speed will be 160 mph. Any vehicle exceeding 160 mph will be disqualified from making any more passes and will not receive a timing slip.
• Drivers will be required to participate in a driver orientation meeting with an experienced salt flats driver prior to racing.
• Wheel covers will be positively attached or removed.
• Only gasoline, diesel, ethanol, bio-diesel, electric, propane, or natural gas fuels may be used - NO Nitrous, Methanol or Nitro-fueled vehicles will be allowed.
• Motorcycles must meet all the existing safety requirements in the current SCTA Bonneville Rule Book
• The SCTA Bonneville Rule Book will be used as a guideline and reference for the purposes of safety requirements; i.e. Roll Bars.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS:
• A four- (4) point roll bar (or more) approved by a recognized Racing sanctioning organization must be installed in the vehicle; driver is responsible to provide objective evidence of approval. Integral Corvette-type roll bar is not acceptable.
• The seat assembly must be adequately braced to the rear by a portion of the roll bar assembly.
• The vehicle must have a 4 point or better seat belt restraint system properly installed (a 5 point harness is highly recommended). The restraint system must include Arm restraints or an approved window net.
• Drivers must wear an SFI approved fire suit rated 3.2A/1 or higher with an approved Neck Collar, Gloves and Shoes.
• The driver must wear a Snell 2000 or newer Snell approved, full-face helmet..
• Motorcycle riders must wear full leathers, either one piece or zip together waist, including leather boots and leather gloves.
• Tires must be W, Y, V or Z rated street tires or acceptable racing tires which are rated for speeds in excess of 150 mph. Tires must have metal valve caps (Metal valve stems are highly recommended). No tires wider than 10" will be allowed, unless the tires are OEM to the vehicle. (Narrow tires provide better stability on the Salt).
Because the sidewall marking systems vary greatly among tire manufacturers, it is the responsibility of the driver/owner to provide objective evidence of the speed rating of tires.
• Cars must have an adequate battery tie down installed.
• Dual throttle return springs are recommended. Proper operation of the throttle return mechanism will be checked during inspection.
• Driveshaft retention loops are required in the front 25% of each section of drive shaft on rear-wheel drive cars where adequate retention and control of a broken driveline is not assured by body/frame design.
• A minimum 5 lb. Coast Guard-approved fire extinguisher must be positively mounted in the vehicle in an approved quick release bracket
• A ground cover must be used under the car in the pit area. Waste fluids will not be "dumped", they must be taken off the salt for disposal. Pit areas and general Salt will be kept neat and clean at all times.
INSPEC'IION:
• Vehicles must be currently licensed and street legal in their respective state.
• Each car will require inspection by a minimum of 2 inspectors.
• Fees will NOT be charged for an inspection.
• Inspection will verify the acceptable condition of the engine, drive train, wheels, tires, fuel system, steering, braking, and safety systems to an approved checklist.
• Decisions of the inspectors are final in the areas of safety assessment and requirements.
COURSE:
• Course will be a 2 mile long course with a 1/4 mile precision speed trap at the end of the second mile. The vehicle must be slowed and turn off the course before the 3 mile marker.
QUALIFYING:
• Drivers will qualify for the 150 MPH Club by making two passes over 150 mph but less than 160 mph during the meet. To gain entrance into the 150 MPH Club, the vehicle must run the course twice in the same day at a speed no less than 130 mph the two runs are then averaged. A two run average over 150 MPH and under 160 MPH makes the driver a Member of the 150 MPH Club.
NOTE: *****The 150 MPH Club is not part of the SCTA Rule Book licensing process. You will not receive any competition license in this venue.*****
