This should work PERFECTLY for ME!!!!!

I hope you make it out Ron. I have been wanting to see your car in action for awhile...

HOLY SHIT! Right in my back yard!

Yea, we figured "most" of the folks who arrived in NC were from the Tidewater area up to Canada, we figured we would bring it a few hundred miles closer to where most of the people are comming from.

We are going to do an all Mustang "true heads-up" points season at some tracks in the DCA too. Two classes, NA or FI, quick 16/24/32 format depending on car count, and very, very few general rules.

We will have more information about that soon.

Party at my place afterwards. Forty minutes east of the track.

If I get to blasted.... can I sleep on the floor? LOL

A lot closer than Rockingham. LOL About 8 hours.

I thought you guys are in the Toronto area?

We will probably do something at Rockingham this year so we don't completely waste the deposit, but we haven't talked about it much yet.

Yea we are from Toronto, but I know it take 3 and a half hours to get to the 313 lol so that gives me a better idea

I would go but I don't have a cage. I don't think they will let me race more than 1 pass with the times I have been putting down lately!

You guys and girls that live in Md what rules are at that track? Or is it just standard rules and regulations. I want to try to make this trip.

 

[jeostang]

Nice

Its a NHRA track......all NHRA rules and regulations apply.

It's not an NHRA Event...

We own the track for the day. It is Street Jam Racing rules, not IHRA/NHRA/NMRA, etc. We do use NHRA rules as a guideline but nothing official.

This is a "Street Car" event. It is not likely that anyone is going to do 7.xxx at 200 mph. If so, I doubt you are driving it to work.

From our rules:

Safety items: All cars must meet all state registered safety inspection requirements. Current helmet, restraining devices, etc. as required.

With that, it will be a judgment call. If you are a vert, running mid 11's on DR's, no roll bar, but a current helmet, great. If you are a coupe running 10's on street tires and no roll bar or helmet... now we have a problem.

If you have a car that does not meet NHRA safety rules, and you want to compete, please PM or email me. [email protected] and we can make a determination based on your individual case.

Now, I can tell you as a person, I do not want to see anyone get hurt. I would strongly recommend that you take needed steps to protect yourself.

What about coupe low 11's to high 10's skinnies/drag radials and a helmet?

That will be fine as long as the helmet is current and the wheels/tires pass saftey inspection. (no cracks, splits, excessive wear, etc.)

 

[Low Dogg]

Will there be a tech inspection done on our cars?

 

[smoken1986]

Ok sounds good I was mainly wondering about the helmets..My wifes car may run in the high 12's but I dont even know if I will be on anything but street tires yet. But I should get a helmet anyway..

 

[marcspaz]

Will there be a tech inspection done on our cars?

Yes. If someone's vehicle does not get a clean bill of health from the track staff, they will not be able to race. Again, tech is somewhat relaxed compared to NHRA, but we still need to make sure cars are safe to go down the track, there are no fluid leaks, battery is tied down, etc.

Please do... Everyone driving is required to wear a helmet.

 

[stkjock]

hmmm.... well that's a lot closer.... and I have a vert on DRs.... high 11s...... this could be do-able........

 

[Low Dogg]

Should be a good time with MANDRA and 422 Motersports. Nothing like watching 60's Super Stockers.

 

[marcspaz]

I hope this car is there! I really ant to see it. In the pictures, it looks very clean...

That's only 20min from my folks place in Middletown. I may have to make the trip out there.

Oh man I wish this was closer to home. Do you guys ever plan these any closer to st. louis?
If so id LOVE to get involved. I want to hit the strip as much as possible this summer and my friends dont like to go that often. Im surely not going to go by myself either.
