Got a couple questions for someone that’s never been to the strip
-what kind of extra equipment is needed? helmets required or is that just over a certain speed/et?
-I was told my open dump off my wastegate won’t pass tech, will it?
-I have a crack in my windshield, I’m thinking they won’t let me run with that, will they?
-I have a couple of my turn signals held in with duct tape, will that matter?
-Pretty sure I’ll need a battery hold down bracket over a bungee cord, but hey might as well ask you guys?
I’m going to try and fix the dumb shit above, but I want to know what else is commonly overlooked by newcomers. I don’t want to drive all that way and be not allowed to run.
I’ve been intching for a time slip after the flashlights got me curious what this pos will do.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, thanks guys.

Helmets required if you run faster then 13.99
open dump is fine
if the crack would not pass a typical inspection it probably won’t pass there. it all depend on who you get
probably would not matter, but fix it for christ sake
bungee cord would probably pass, but use a zip tie at least

they won’t kick u out for not having a helmet, they will complain though.
i should be there on this friday’s tnt, you can borrow mine when you go down the track, as long as you don’t have greasy hair. i have a big noggin though

thanks danhr! I actually may try to make it out tomorrow if I can get a windshield in before then. It may pass but I don’t want to risk it, my inspection guy seems pretty lenient sometimes so I can’t go by the fact it has a sticker.
Thanks guys!

They wouldn’t let me run because I had a DOT helmet instead of a snell rated. That was a couple years back. Not sure if they’re still as strict. Also made me unhook my bottle because the line was inside the car.

I went tonight, they barely popped my hood and let me go. I didn’t have a helmet but they didn’t say anything. Hell there were people running with passengers
best was a 13.69 @ 111.44
I’m amazed the fucker held together with the abuse I throw at it daily. Tranny is a touchy sometimes, I missed a few shifts BAD. Got a few parts lying around waiting to go on, maybe raise the boost next time :clit:

and to top it off, they closed the track early (like at 9:40)
had they gone until 10:30 like they were suppose to, I could of gotten atleast 3 more runs in.

I called you at 10:00, and before I called you I had stopped to get gas, and had driven past 286. that’s atleast a 15 mins drive, considering I was going slow and was getting passed by everyone.
