how packed does it get on average? Irwindale has been nuts lately and I'd love to try out the 1/4 mile VS the 1/8th


Do they require a blowdown tube on my nitrous bottle or a driveshaft safety loop? I have the blowdown coming but it might not be here in time....

Smile regulations

As far the blow down tube, drive in, park, take the bottle out, then go tech. Drive line loop, what drive line loop? Never saw them check yet. Tell it runs 12.60 I think.

Thumbs up private yes, filled, doubt it.

I thinks it's 100 bucks for all day with lunch or 5 bucks for spectators. If it's alright with the moderator I'll give the number to call for more info????

Whats the limit on how many cars and how many are expected?
How many runs can we expect?

I'm sure a track rental # shouldn't be a problem...

Sportsman I think. I havent ran in this race before but my buddie has and he say its pretty chill. You get three time trials and then elimination start. Not bad for 35 bucks when the street legal drags you might not even get three runs.
