Those Knuckleheads at Irwindale are unbelievable. I am pretty sure where this is coming from. I saw the former lead Tech official there a week before they published the rule change to allow 14 and newer to run down to 9.0 and 150 and I said "it's pretty cool they are going to change the rule now and now we can run 9.0 etc.". He said to me "No Fucking way are they ever going to change that rule. You are dreaming". Well, he is obviously against this for some reason. And HE is the one they call when they need a clarification and I bet he even contacted them to institute his own bias into the equation.
So, if you want to license there and take advantage of the new Rule with your Demon they will ONLY allow you to go for a SL license and they want you to use their own abbreviated form. Even though the regular Competition License form has clearly indicated places to check for the SL license. And if you want to get an ET license then they say you have to put ALL the regular safety equipment in the car, a stock Demon. A Roll Cage, window net etc. And I am assuming the upgraded Driver Clothing requirements too.
Complete Bullcrap. I understand the concept but I am not buying it at all. If the car is completely legal there, at the time, to run below 6.40 and the requirements for an ET license mirror the SL license you should be able to go for that category too. The ability you are demonstrating and the ET's are the same for both categories.
Now, if you want to get a license for a Pro Stock car then that would be a different matter. Also, if you took your ET license and went to run 9.45 @ 138 MPH in an ET Bracket Race the CAR would need the cage, battery disconnect etc. and the Driver should have a 2 layer jacket, full face helmet etc. Of course.
