Somewhere in the tens on motor. Got this from Michigan Speed:

10.99 to 10.00
10.99 to 10.00 or cars running 135+ mph
Use these rules in addition to the general rules and 13.99 to 11.50 and the 11.49 to 11.00 rules for full bodied cars only.
SFI 18.1 harmonic balancer mandatory
Aftermarket axles and axle retention device mandatory
SFI 4.1 spec transmission shield required on automatic trans cars
Rollcage required for convertibles or cars running faster than 135.
Rollbar is still OK for full bodied cars with stock firewall, floor, and body.
SFI 29.1 flexplate if car runs 135mph

Was looking at getting this:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...4394&viewitem=

Want to make sure I pass tech at the Pink event and at other tracks. Would hate to not be able to race at the Pinks event because of it.

I raced the NMRA for a while and my first race I went to they told me I either needed a trans blanket or a trans shield. I recommend the sheild. I agree, take care of it now instead of getting told to go home because of failing tech.

Picked up a new trans blanket so I should be all set.
