Single layer pants are now required for SST 10.90 class, but I don't think so just for brackets.

What I don't is NHRA's logic here. You can 10.0's in a ET car and don't need pants. But to run SST at 10.90 you do...
I believe it's due too the number of super street cars that mph at 150+

Actually Rickster, 135+ in SST is subject to all the rules of SG,
I think NHRA likes to try out SST first, before they bust on the bracket guys!! So, the diapers, and pants will be trickling down...you can count on it. Er.. I mean keep your pants on and your diapers..Uhh, this just doesn't sound right at all!!

I think it is just as Billy stated. Next it will be the bracket guys required to use them. Next will be mandatory diapers in S/ST. I am not required to run one in S/ST as of yet but if i were to run S/G I would be. I go 154+ in S/ST.

You are correct. As of January 1, 2009 SFI 3.2A/1 jacket & pants are required in AA/S through M/S and AA/SA through M/SA and in any vehicle running 11.49 or quicker. This is found in the 2010 NHRA Rulebook on page 9.11 in the Stock section under Protective Clothing. Also in the General Regulations section on page 20.39, Protective Clothing it states "Protective Clothing requirements stated are minimum requirements; drivers are free to upgrade Protective Clothing." The same requirements apply for Super Stock/J through SS/P and SS/JA through SS/PA or any vehicle running 10.00 to 11.49. Ritch Bowers NHRA North Central Div.
