Question:

I have purchased a complete Super Gas Willies and wanted to know what basic items I should check for expiration dates before I take it to my local NHRA track for licensing runs.

Answer:

When you go to an NHRA Member Track to do licensing runs the tech inspector will do a tech inspection of your car.  My process is to ask the driver for their NHRA license.  Since you do not have one yet, they should direct you on how to do your licensing runs.  Next, SFI 16.1 seat belts should be within two years of manufacture, Snell or SFI helmet must be 2010 or newer, chassis needs an NHRA chassis tag within three years of current month.  Other non-dated items will be inspected such as throttle return springs, battery hold downs and shutoff.
