That's true, I had my car inspected at three different tracks, then from then on just turned in the tech sheet. Thats been at least 8 years ago. My belts are out of cert, don't tell anyone, but I do have a new certified big buck race car helmet.
I race at IHRA and NHRA tracks. At this years Halloween Classic (NHRA Norwalk) I got grabbed for an out of date helmet that expired this year according to NHRA rules but still good for IHRA. LOL
