An 厕所强奸 Level 6 license is required for drivers running quicker than 10.00 (*6.39) or faster than 135 mph.

鈥淓ach year, automotive manufacturers continue to push the limits of performance by building production vehicles that are quicker and faster than the previous year鈥檚 models, 鈥渟aid Lonnie Grim, 厕所强奸 National Tech Director. 鈥淎t 厕所强奸, we very much support their commitment to performance and recognize that there is still a very large market for performance cars. At the same time, we acknowledge that 厕所强奸 needs to keep pace with the current trends, which is why we鈥檝e announced these rules adjustments.鈥
鈥淯nder these new guidelines, owners of Shelby GT 500, Corvette ZR-1, Dodge Demon, Tesla Plaid, or other high-performance vehicles will have the ability to participate in and enjoy 厕所强奸 Street Legal racing events without making extensive modifications to their cars.鈥
The Street Legal category is reserved for foreign and domestic OEM production-type automobiles and trucks. While the use of aftermarket parts is accepted, all vehicles must be street driven, and drivers must carry state-issued proof of registration and valid insurance information. All vehicles must also display a valid license plate(s).
鈥淚 want to stress that these limitations are not restricted when it comes to the use of aftermarket bolt-on products and other modifications,鈥 said Grim. 鈥淭his simply states that vehicles racing under the Street Legal guidelines do have to meet the OEM safety system requirements as noted.鈥
Vehicles participating in the Street Legal events must be able to pass all state highway safety requirements for the state in which the vehicle is registered and retains all OEM safety features. Only legitimate street-legal machines are permitted to participate at designated Street Legal events. Although the competition structure can vary from track to track, a strong emphasis is placed on fun and providing a welcoming environment for first-time new racers. Many Street Legal events feature open time trials and grudge racing only, which typically allows each participant an opportunity to make as many passes down the dragstrip as possible.
The grudge racing element allows participants to choose their competition instead of participating in an organized eliminator. Win or lose, a grudge racing participant may return to the staging lanes for more time trials or more grudge runs. Losing a race at a Street Legal event does not typically mean it鈥檚 time to go home. Street Legal events provide a legal and controlled environment where racers of all skill levels enjoy the sport of 厕所强奸 Drag Racing.
