They will be running timing lights at the 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4 and on sunday they will add the 1 1/2 mile. We have ran here a few times. If weather is right you will get all of the passes you want. It’s a good track and a good time. $485 for the whole weekend. Let’s go racing!

Nice pic. Btw, what is the chute affixed to? How is it mounted to the car? That's a lot of weight at @200 after the 1 1/2 mile to stop holding a tail light panel. LOL. You got a full cage?

They replace the rear aluminum bumper with the chute mount. They cut a hole where the license plate goes so you can remove the chute when not in use and never know it was there. It is a 4 point roll bar. The removable chute is pretty nice to have.

I was told your not allowed to run a drag radial at these events, so I assume you have to have a minimum speed rated tire (z, w, y?). Is that true?

I run the Toyo R888R which is a 101(Y) for 186+. You can run whatever is safe for your car. It is really good people running it and they want you safe for sure but they are not ridiculous about it especially on newer cars like ours. A lot of people there are running home built race cars.

I am planning on it. Which gears do you have? Wide body or not?
