This safety equipment is designed to automatically deploy a vehicles parachutes and shut down both the ignition and fuel systems in the event of a catastrophic failure. Improved driver safety is the haul mark of this technology.
IHRA Australia has made it compulsory to use the Electrimotion Safety system in Top Fuel, Pro Alcohol and Pro Slammer vehicles, and it is MANDATORY for all vehicles running an ET quicker than 6.50 sec (1/4 mile) or 4.15 1/8 mile. This common sense safety and implementation of technology already available to the Racing Industry and ensures that we consider safety to all our competitors as the speeds of vehicles start to push World Record performances that we are constantly seeing in the 400 Thunder Professional Drag Racing Series.
