ANDRA-SPEC SAFETY WITH PAC PERFORMANCE

In the hunt for power and low ETs on the track it's unfortunate that nine times out of ten, safety is one of the last things most performance car owners think of. Here at Pac Performance though, safety is of high priority when building a car, especially when it is going to spend a lot of its time flying down the quarter mile at near warp speed. We've seen what can happen when things go wrong; safety is not an area you want to cut comers on, trust us!

Pumping out sub 10-second street cars by the dozens these days, a common job in the workshop is equipping customers cars with the necessary safety equipment to meet the strict ANDRA rules for cars running 10.99 or quicker over the quarter mile. While this is a job that we can carry out for you in the workshop we can also supply everything needed for car owners to do the job at home themselves.

A quality approved harness restraint system is one of the listed ANDRA requirements and we choose to use and recommend IMPACT harnesses and we have them available in 5-point Latch and Link and also Cam Lock versions, priced at $220+gst and $330+gst respectively.



Pictured here is the Cam Lock setup which is the most popular kit we supply.



Arm restraints are another very important bit of gear required by ANDRA. In the event of an accident these simple straps will keep your arms from flailing around the cabin and reduce the chances of serious injury. $30+gst

Pac Performance can also supply full approved race suits, gloves, boots and helmets. $POA



A battery isolation switch is another small, but very important item that is required By ANDRA to be fitted to all cars running these times. At just $24.99+gst for the switch and $10+gst for the accompanying safety decal they won't break the bank and don't think that they're just for race cars...



Battery isolation switches are also a great idea for all performance street cars and are quick and easy to install.



A simple portable fire extinguisher like this can be the difference between having some small fire damage and a burnt-out wreck. Another item on the ADRA list, $60+gst



Big power, sticky tyres and a grippy track can often lead to driveline breakages, including tail shaft uni joints and indeed the shaft itself. Pac Performance can supply an adjustable pre-fabricated tailshaft loop, ready to go for $49.99+gst



One thing that a lot of guys get pulled up for at the track is not having a radiator overflow bottle fitted. While you may be able to get away with a cable tied Coke bottle as a temporary fix it's a smart idea to fit a proper setup in your car. Pac Performance can supply these quality H/Duty plastic coolant overflow bottles with drain tap for $90+gst



Pac Performance are able to fabricate ANDRA approved roll cages in-house to meet all safety standards, from a simple half cage job to a full funny car-style setup. With our target audience for this feature being quick streeters, a popular setup we have available is a full ANDRA approved 6-point roll cage setup with removable front section for street duties.

Simply bolt the front half in when you're going out racing and when you want to switch back to street duties, simply un-bolt and store it away for next time.... We're able to build these roll cage setups to suit any car with prices starting at $3500+gst



When fitting a roll cage to your car you must ensure that all bars located around the driver and passengers are sufficiently padded using Approved roll cage padding as pictured below.



Pac Performance are able to supply SFI-approved roll cage padding lengths in a variety of colours at $48+gst



Safety is a serious matter that no car owner should take for granted and while getting your car up to scratch and tech inspected by ANDRA, ready to race may seem daunting to some, the team here at Pac Performance do our best to make the whole process as quick, easy and smooth as possible, whether we're doing the work for you or supplying the parts for those who prefer to DIY.

Pac Performance can also arrange your ANDRA tech inspection in-house with a one call. Simply drop your car in and pick it up teched and ready to race with all inspections and paperwork taken care of.
