just realized this morning that they are an NHRA track. I remember others asking this in the past, but I wasnt worried about it back then cause my car wasnt quick enough. is it 11.99 faster needs rollcage? or 11.49 and quicker? if its 11.99, then I guess I cant bring my car cause its already been 11.75 last year and I picked up 20RWHP since then.

I think NHRA is 11.99 and IHRA is 11.49. You could always half track it until the end of the day. Get it nice and dialed in and do one good banzai run!
I did that at Lapeer. I had to get my first 10 second timeslip from the guy I raced because they booted me and would not give me the slip.

That was Patrick. He twisted a driveshaft in half.
Fun times.
The car is considerably faster now from what I hear.

How strict will the track be at the M event? I remember people running in the 11.6s that didn't have a cage at the last event I attended.

I'm going to try and make it this year......
In my Camaro even!!!
Hell, I may even have the headers on it by then. The 12 bolt and driveshaft have been on the car and ready to race for almost a year and the car hasn't been anywhere near a track since. Actually, now that I think about it, I think the last time it went down a track was September 2005. 
It's only had about 1500 miles put on it since then. It just rolled 17k.

That changed in 05 I think. Both IHRA and NHRA allow 11.5000000 without a rollbar and a 5 point will get you down to 10.0000000 in a non-convertable.
