Section 1-A, located on page 24 of the 2006 NHRA Rulebook read as follows:
10.00 (*6.40 1/8 mile) and slower; all E.T. non-OEM supercharged, non-OEM turbocharged, or nitrous-equipped cars with an OEM or .024-inch steel firewall: Jacket meeting SFI Spec 3.2A/1 mandatory

If you've upgraded the turbo in any way, then a firejacket is required.

E.T and MPH is irrelevant. Even the guys with 14 second missles are required to wear firejackets.

I asked the local head NHRA tech lots of questions about this new rule last night and he said, "If you're running a upgraded or non-factory turbo "Then buy a firejacket!!".
