Take a look at this article and keep asking questions.
Just about any car can be "made ready" for a drag strip run... with-out a lot of time of $$

great link Doc, but what about rust ?? seriously its not terrible, my rockers are rusted out in front of the rear tires, and she has some frame rail rot driver side (brilliant chrysler engineered F-body), would this DQ me on a tech inspect ??

or does it boil down to if the tech inspector wants to be anal ??

do you need rear brakes ??

Yes, you need rear brakes. Rust is not a concern. Basically, using common sense, a safe street car will pass tech. Some main things looked at are enough tread on the tires, and no missing lug nuts. A good battery hold down (no bailing wire or bungy cords). Radiator overflow bottle. Seat belt. Less then 12 inches of rubber fuel line.
