you should be able to find rules for nhra (nrha...?) somewhere...but you do need a full riding suit, leathers are what they say are required, but i have suzuki ones that are kevlar or something with leather on shoulder pads and elbows and such, and they don't really bother me about it. but they must ZIP TOGETHER. you'll need boots that cover your ankles, socks that go up normal length, no short cut offs. riding gloves, a snell rated helmet, i think SN 95 and later are good, might be SN 96 or something, but if you own an 05, chances are you have a snell that is more than acceptable. i would recomend emptying most of the crap out of the bulb (just for lightness), having the bulb instead of pass seat, double bubble screen if you got one, or at least a clear one. solids are hard to look through!! i am gonna go on sunday if weather is good, look for me and i can help you out is mush as i can, though that may not be much....but i drive a blue/silver 2000 busa and have black riding pants (zuk), and zuk jacket that is blue/black with white. shouldn't be to hard to pick me out, not many bikes normally.
cya there sometime!!! i'm james btw, and i'm a young gun! (20)
