Lets make this happen!! I already have people going to this! Helmet required and no shorts or sandals while racing. Be there at around 330.

If only I still lived in Cali.

I remember going there in the 90's with my Integra.

I'd like to see how bad my car does and might be able to make it out on the 31st.

Hopefully I'll have my 19s back on then since I'm currently running the stockers (which are heavier) and the tires on them suck. I won't know if I can make it until that day though due to work.

How picky are they on the helmet thing? I've got one that's a few years old but it's been spray painted and the DOT sticker isn't visible. I've only run at Sac and have no idea what they're like at Infineon.

They are very strict about the helmet. I think they look for the DOT sticker on the helmet. I'm sure you will do fine at Infineon but the track is very hard to get consistent times.

What time do the drag sessions wrap up?



I am not usually free until about 7pm, and it takes an hour to an hour and a half to get there. :/
