Is it worth going these days?

I remember when they had the old track and 300+ cars would show up, I always left upset.

Of course its been years and I have heard there have been many changes...

Goodluck Craig. I'm having troubles with the stang again and have NO time to look at it. Soon enough..... Jersey bought some very nice trick flow heads and track heat intake from me, complete with rr's/throttle body and all. Should be a hell of a setup after it's installed this weekend!!!!!!!!!!

Well since I have a season pass and the Wednesday night drags have been awfully scarce this year... I'll be there!!

Try not to line up behind Need-a-Cage... his car drips oil. Ha, ha!! Sorry Craig.

Very funny pal. After that comment, you better hope you don't line up beside me!

You cannot wear shorts or a tank top when racing. You also need a helmet if your car runs under 14.0 seconds in the quarter. I ran 14.5 the first time I raced my car. I only had it for a couple weeks and it was bone stock. You won't need a helmet unless you have some mods or some sticky tires.

Hockey guy, you may want to check their site for all the rules. Craig is fairly new to the whole drag racing thing at Sears point/Infineon. He is still learning himself

I do know that they are now requiring a fire jacket to run in the 11's. Let Tony know about this one. You can get a cheap single layer jacket to satisfy the officials.

Is that only for Wed nights

I thought it was just like the bar rule 11.49 and faster.

I was out there with a couple other buds and we were all running in the 11.50-11.70 range and no one warned us.
