NEW JERSEY STATE REQUIREMENTS:
The following modifications to a Legends Car are required to race in New Jersey:
1.) Steel plates welded onto existing passenger side door. 2.) Nomex boot attached to seatback covering the existing safety harness hole.
3.) Fuel shut off switch must be located on the top shelf behind driver’s right shoulder on flat sheet metal. Switch must be clearly marked with red tape, ON/OFF.
4.) Plastic battery box.
5.) Pad on steering wheel.
6.) Remove threaded rods on existing fuel cell bars and replace with 5/16” bolts through fuel cell bar. Bushings must be installed in holes drilled for new bolts passing through fuel cell bars.
7.) Add to the door strike plates with 3/16” thick, 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” angle iron that is 5” in length. Weld the angle iron on each door strike plate so that the angle iron prevents the door from closing in towards the driver.

Did these rules stem from anything specific, that anyone has heard?  Going through them they are really good rules from a safety standpoint!

It stems from NJ. racing (all racing) is run by the NJ state police. They have put specific rules in place for all types of racing from quarter midgets to NASCAR. They have some funny rules that is for sure but some are good. They also have some minimum age rules way more stringent than the rest of the country. So USLC is not exempt from the State Police rules.
