TEXAZC6 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 $10 bucks to get in, $7 more if you want to race.Number of cars depends on time you go. I got there 2 weeks ago about 9:30 and there were probably 60-80 cars in queue. I was only there about an hour and saw some cars 2-3 times so they keep it moving. It is a standard tree but it isn't "pro". Lights are pre stage, stage, 3 seperate yellow, and green. It is a .500 tree.You can run as much as the crowd will allow, they start at 6 pm and run till around midnight.You don't need a helmet (unless you are real fast) but I think they want you to have long pants on at least.I'd love to make it out this weekend but between Auto X on Sunday, a boatload of schoolwork, and my wife dragging me to the home show, I'm about booked.I'm going to try to make it out there in a few weeks though, want to see what the C6 will do.If you go, post some times.

Guest intmd8r Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 You don't need a helmet (unless you are real fast)Unless something has changed, you need a helmet to run 13s or faster - so unless you plan on your car staying in the 14s or slower , you'll need one.

Phoenix FRC Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I was out there on the 4th.I saw an electron blue C5 out there running 12.2 at 88 mph... yeah right... a 12.2 should be trapping around 113 mph. so I was calling Then on his last run.. no suprise here, he stayed out of the brakes and ran an 11.8 but I can't remember his trap speed.When the weather cools, Late September-ish thru April, I go every Friday night for street legal drags, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICULUKN Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I usually live at the track in the winter... Speedworld usually does a better job at track prep, and you race during the day. Tech is normally not an issue at Speedworld.... Firebird usually doesnt like it when you run under 11.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
