You are allowed to buy things along the way if you want. Other than that, it must be in your car or in a trailer behind your car with a called out max length/height. They are trying to curb some of the things that went on last year with support vehicles that carried crew members driving along.

Yes. Cordova has an area to leave all of the trailers and trucks that get you there, then the race ends right at your truck and trailer.

Slvrhwk, CE is registered. Formula won't be making the trip. Would be cool to caravan over with some locals. We'll work that out when it's closer.

This is gonna be fun.
Do you have anymore pics of your CE?

Does the car have to be NHRA certified? Would I be able to run mid-high 10s on motor for small block N/A without one?

i signed up again. it was a blast last year!! there are something like 5 people from omaha that are signed up for the 12.0 class

i dont know that your car needs any certifications but it does need to have the safety equipment for the et/speed you are running. not exactly sure what you are asking but i think you would get called out on it if you were running in the 10's with no cage.

Sweet looks like they wised up John and you can run in the Small block class. You should be highly competitive this year. Hope to see you out there. I still have to register.
