I think I'm going to wash my car and add a couple stickers which should drop my 1/4mile times by atleast 2 secs
btw
whats up with the gas prices? What does arizona's fuel shortage have to do with CA? Do we get fuel from them?
Where do they sell race fuel in SFV??? I know it makes a little difference with turbos.... but would it help with our reflash, or just be a waste of money?

If parent is not present on race day, the form must be notarized and submitted with registration materials. A new form must be completed on each race day. The form does not carry over from race day to race day!
10-Second Rule: There is a 10-second flat ET rule. No cars quicker than 10 seconds will be allowed. (If you need an NHRA Competition License to drive your car at an NHRA Drag Strip, it is too quick for California Dragway.)

Electronics: No aftermarket electronic devices allowed (throttle stops, delay boxes, etc.)
Exhaust: Must be routed through street legal muffler(s). All runs will be monitored on a decibel meter (100db at 100’ from the strip). If it is too loud you will not be allowed to run. NO EXCEPTIONS! It is your responsibility.
Tires: Aprroved Racing Slicks are Permitted, as well as Street legal DOT approved treaded tires, front and rear required on all vehicles. Tires will be inspected for overall condition.

Tools, jack stands, coolers, loose speakers, wheel covers, etc. are considered loose ballast and are not permitted on the track. If you don’t need it, or don’t want to leave it unattended, leave it at home.
Neutral Safety Switch: All vehicles must be equipped with an operational Neutral Safety Switch. The neutral safety switch prevents the vehicle’s starter from turning the engine over unless the transmission is in Park or Neutral (or unless the clutch pedal is depressed with a manual transmission).

After Tech Inspection
Move your car forward and walk to the “Tech Registration Table” Where you will show I.D., sign a release of liability and get a wristband for restricted area access. Once you have completed registration, return to your car to have your number applied to your windows. You may now find yourself a “pit” location (10’ X 20’ max per car).

Tune your car radio to 104.7 fm for the Speedway’s PA announcements. All categories will be called to the staging lanes at random rotation. Listen for your category to be called.

When the tree is activated, you will see 3 amber bulbs flash ½ second apart then GREEN…GO!!! GO on the GREEN. Hint: Try to leave on the last amber for a better reaction time.
Top Speed…
After crossing the Finish Line, let off the gas slowly apply the brakes. Stay in your lane and drive to the end of the track, turn left and return to the pits, stopping at “TIME-SLIPS” booth. Return road speed limit is 15 MPH.

To address some other questions:
The drags go on until 11pm, but you and/or we can leave any time we want to.
Boe, it looks like you will need a helmet. I will be bringing 2 legal helmets, size S and size M if anyone needs them (aka the turbo people)
One more important announcement, we will be taking applications at the meet. Remember that you must be paid by September 1 to be a founding member. If you want your membership card to be ready when you hand in your payment tomorrow, you'd best PM me in the next few hours so I can print them, otherwise you will have to get it at the September meet.
If my records are correct, I have applications but no payment yet from Chris Holman, Ryan Realivasquez, and Adam Johnson. All others paid by now will get their cards handed to them tomorrow.
