Default how strict are they?

hi guys i got a quick question. I know that to run on a dragstrip you cant be leaking any fluids onto the track, but how stict are they on this. i want to run my car downAtlanta Dragway but i have a small leak out of the rear main seal. its not a bad leak but u can see oil on the bottom of the car and smell it burning when you go WOT. what are my chances of getting turned down by track officials?

regardless of wether they will shut you down or not, you need to get that fixed before getting on any track. think twice before you endanger other people's lives.

If some guy wrecks hard because of just one drop... that would be on you.

And just to answer the original question, Atlanta dragway has the pickiest tech inspection of any track I've been to.

Thats what i thought. it doesnt really drip, not even when i park it. you can just see it on the bottom of the bellhousing and most of it gets burned off by the pipes. but i guess ill be waiting to run it when i get a stall and pull the transmission.
