I am assuming that the usual rules apply at this track even on street car nights in regards to a cage/helmet, etc.?
Rick

 

Yes...they will apply.

 

There has been a rule change. There will not be an exhaust rule in the Modified class.

 

Is this a 1/4 or 1/8? Yep, I'm new to racing or shall I say I have not raced in a long time.

And do you ever have a "first timers night" to show us what NOT to do etc?

 

We are an 1/8th mile track. You should come out on Thursday nights if you want to practice on a slower night.

 

Ok what about helmets? My car runs 13.7 in the 1/4.
Cost on thursdays? Hours?
