John, both sets of rules are, idndeed, very
close. I'm right in the middle of setting up my
car to fit both organizations. I set up the two
sets of rules on a spread sheet and did a
comparison. Once I met the ECTA requirements,
the only additional items needed to meet USFRA
req was addition of a driveshaft loop and add arm
restraints or window net. ECTA requires Halon,
USFRA only required Coast Guard approved. USFRA
does not restrict to single 4bbl for 130 (as does
ECTA real street). Other than that, they are
about the same.
