Default Face Shield for Full faced Helmets?

Hey Everybody,

Are most IHRA 1/8 mile tracks requiring a face shield for SA 2022 helmets running 6.50?

Thanks Guys!

You only need the shield if you are in an open cockpit car. You need a full face helmet at 6.39. It don’t have to use the shield

I thought too it had to be full face. I miss my old open faced one.

I just want to know how the guys on Moror Trend Roadkill can run down the track in freaking shorts and flip flops even on a "private rental"!
