this is awesome!!! i have a mate that loves cars that much even though he is blind he has had built a 13b turbo madza 1000 ute, so this is going to make his day knowing that he can come in the car also now with me.... i wonder what the cut off for time wise you can have a passenger for? ---------- Post added 11-10-10 at 08:11 ---------- 31 August 2010 Like most motor sports, ANDRA has permitted limited passenger rides in controlled conditions for many years, mainly for the purposes of promotional activities. In a strategy to deliver additional safe, controlled options to dangerous practices on public roads, and to widen the already exciting off-street experience, ANDRA has worked with the Australian Drag Racing Promoters Association to introduce single passengers in some cars at off-street events. Effective immediately, single passengers will be permitted in cars racing in paired runs at designated off-street events, where; the passenger is afforded the same safety provisions as the driver (seat, safety belt/harness). all car windows are closed. the car does not run an elapsed time quicker than 11.99 seconds (1/4 mile) / 7.70 seconds (1/8 mile), or exceed 200 kilometres per hour (124 mph). the track complies with the ANDRA National standard as a minimum. the passenger is 18 years old as a minimum. the passenger pays the posted Entry Fee, completes the Entry Form and completes the ANDRA Acknowledgement of Risk statement. The passenger holds an ANDRA Divisional Licence as a minimum (available on the day). Currently, ANDRA Member Tracks complying with the National standard or higher include Alice Springs Inland Dragway (NT), Benaraby Dragway (Gladstone QLD), Dragway Tasmania (Launceston TAS), Hidden Valley International Dragstrip (Darwin NT), Ironbark Dragway (Roma QLD), Palmyra (Mackay QLD), Perth Motorplex (WA), South Coast Raceway (Portland VIC), Sunset Strip (Mildura VIC), Sydney Dragway (NSW), Warwick Dragway (QLD) and Willowbank Raceway (Ipswich QLD)

The cutoff is 11.99 for running with a passenger, and probably a suspension of ANDRA license if you got out in a car with a proven performance faster than that and go quicker than the cutoff. 6BOOST
