I didn't know you couldn't run with your cut-out open at the midnight drags? I know you can at wed and fri night, you can run open headers if you want. All you have to do is pass their very strict

yeah, you can run pretty much anything...
I went maybe 6 months open y-pipe on my 3.4L daily driving and trips to the track.
The midnight drag things I think is to keep the cars street legal, to make it more exciting, instead of trailer queens obliterating everyone, or that its so late at night.
Only reason some tracks have those rules is people that live near by not likeing the noise.

Are you referring to that dark gold RX-7? I saw him run on 11/26 and that car was LOUD. Do you know what kind of engine he has?

Back to main topic. I've seen/heard many people run with open cut outs, so I doubt it will be a prob.

You would have some major problems with your engine if you did. You always need some backpressure to help scavenge the cylinders, even if it's just the small amount from running headers. Ever notice that even top fuel runs with headers? Just letting you know
