What kind of DA and prep can I expect?

cruzinquick

Yes there will be 100 and 108 unleaded Torco Racing fuel available. Torco has much truer octane ratings than any other out there.

Yes we'll have to line it up a few times. I might have to make sure your in the opposite bracket.

Track prep is usually pretty good for the day races. With us staying for the night race they will do a little extra to keep it as sticky as possible.

DA is harder to predict, not even with global warming will we see anything like Sacramento. With our temps in the 60's during the day we'll probably hover from 2000'-2500'. The night will fall into the 50's and maybe get to around 1600'. If it's a freaky night like last night and get to 41 degrees by 9pm then we'll see 1200's. Our track sits at 1250' above sea level, so last night was our sea level conditions. First time I've been at the track for those conditions in 2 years.

Banme

Damn man, 1200's are the best we will see? Hmmm, I may have to think about it.

How are they about enforcing the "boot" rule?

jturkel

where are you coming from? are you an AZ local? if so, even if the DA isnt the best, it is still nice to meet other people with similar interests.

cruzinquick

We will get some latitude on it, but will be watched closely. For example, a car runs all over the lane and barely keeps it in the lines and runs 11.49 will get booted. We want a safe event and safety for the person in the other lane.

Now with that in mind, 11.50's don't come easy in AZ. If your running 11.0's in negative air, then maybe 11.4's will be had here.

Famoso or Sac will be the place to set the records. Here we will see who is the best driver with the most consistent car.

Banme

I see, thank you.

cruzinquick

We have a blast and enjoy some friendly side by side competition on a level playing field. This will be the only even where a 14 second car can take out a 12 sec car.

chiromikey

it doesn't look like i'll be making this event either...

bassn_07

WTF....I was going to try my hardest to make it but without you brotha it weighs on my decision. Make no mistake, I would love to meet everyone but the main drive was to run heads up with you and just hang out. Keep me updated on your cars situation.

This is a fricken nightmare and I can't believe things have gone this far. You have to be one of the most patient people I know…..

RenntechE55

Whats going on with your car that its going to make you miss two big drag events?

chiromikey

i missed running with you and the nocal crew in sac in october, famoso last month, and now i won't even be able to race in my hometown! it is a nightmare and trust me, i've been more patient than even i thought i could be! however, my patience is running thin and soon you may see another side of me that i don't show very often.

chiromikey

not quite ready to talk about it publicly but as i mentioned, my patience is running thin so stay tuned...

cruzinquick

Mikey you have to show up, it's your home turf. Just bring the RR or the Duc. Bring some leathers and bootsIt won't be the same without you attending.

cruzinquick

This was asked on the crossfire forum so I figured I'd update here as well. Now is the time to ask away any questions you have. I'll post up some hotel info later this week.

Do I need a helmet, and if so, what kind?
A helmet is required for the driver of any car or truck running 13.99 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and for the rider of any motorcycle. Most drivers can use a helmet meeting SNELL K98, M2000, SA2000, M2005, or SA2005 specifications. Professional category and some alcohol burning vehicles require an SA rated helmet. It is important to note that the helmet rating must be designated on a tag INSIDE the helmet, or sewn to one of the helmet straps. The designation stenciled on the exterior of the helmet is insufficient for NHRA technical inspection. Also, some tracks require a helmet on ALL drivers, so check in advance.

I would be pretty pissed to if my car were in the shop for the last 3 months. I hope you make it out I was excited to see your car run

jturkel

just purchased a set of M/T drag radials. can't wait for next weekend!

RenntechE55

I should do the same but its gonna have to wait.

jturkel

whys that? i just ordered them on summit racing....i'll get them either on the 15th or 16th...plenty of time...and thats with ground shipping.

jturkel

Evan......whats the rule on cars running below 11.50.....still require a cage for this event? i got a buddy who runs around 11.1 to 11.2 without a cage who is interested in going....

RenntechE55

No money once I sell some stuff I'll buy a set.

jturkel

ahh....that'll do it lol

bassn_07

When you're ready I have some MT's street radial 255 50 16's up for sale. I would guess they have around 15 -20 passes on them and I don't do long burnouts.....

cruzinquick

Here's your answer. Yes a cage is required to run under 11.50.

Here's a link to what a sample roll bar and cage look like. On a bar setup the drivers bar can be a swing out or removable type.

NHRA's Frequently Asked Tech questions

cruzinquick

Hello guys,

PM or email me your real name with your screen name for the list that will be at the track entrance booth.

Spectators don't need to be on the list just pay the normal entrance fee. Usually $10 bucks.

Just got update from track. $30 racer entrance fee includes Day Race, Night Race, burger, fries, and drink with some refills. That's a great deal and take the time to thank one of the track managers Bernie for hooking us up.

Plan on being there by 9am-10am to set up and get tech'd. You can also leave after the day race and come back for the night race, just don't lose your wristband.

Any questions ask away. See you all this weekend

Evan
