I ran a 13.45 with my buddy in the car. After the race they stopped me and said to ditch the passenger, and that i have to get a helmet if i want to continue racing. I thought you had to be in the 12s to need a helmet.

we were out there back towards the back near the board along the fence. I ran into Jeff with the supercharged SOM SS and I saw amoretti's WS6 i think along with cavemans GTO. My buddy Ryan were in line he was in front of me with the black SS and he ran a 13.6 my best was a 13.41. the second run i was just tired of waiting and ready to leave so i had my worst time ever 15.08 but my GF was in the car so i took it easy.
When do you need a helmet cause ive ran 13.4 a few times and they have never said anything to me. My friend with the yellow vette they told him he has to wear one and that was before he was in the 12s.
It was an ok day besides the 3 hour wait to get second run in but that supra crash was crazy got in on tape too that guy needs to learn how to let off and take what you get. I may go to another one next month but just not race cause nothing is worse then your GF wanting to leave cause she is not feeling well and your stuck in line for 3 hours.

Yeah, I got there just before 11 and only made 3 passes all day with a 13.6 best. Much room for improvement in the driving department though. I totally agree with it not being worth the wait though.
Now that I think about it, I did see a NBM SS and Black SS by each other, just didn't think anything about it. Oh btw, no WS6 here , but I was the only Trans Am that I saw and definitely the only white one so.. it was probably me.
Post the video of that Supra crash! That guy is a lawyer, so he has enough money to fix it, but damn... thats some nasty driving lol. The Procharged SOM SS With Fikse wheels was .
Other cars that caught my attention:
Iroc Z28 that ran 7's
C6 Z06 running 11's (I think I saw an 11.2 best) stock
C5 Z06 running 10's

Everytime I have ever gone to a sun/fun I have only gotten 2 or 3 runs in during the whole day. So I usually never go to them anymore.

i left after my second run, my car was shifting way too early, it looked like it was shifting at only 6100 rpm. i looked at the gauge and i was only running 8 lbs of boost. went 11.32 on that run. i was really pissed cause i wanted 10's. the car has it in it just gotta get Lou or Rev Ex to retune my shift points.

OSW is slowly going to get stricter just because they have to. A lot of crashes have been happening lately so its only for your protection. I wouldn't run without helmet. I shouldn't be running without a cage but I am.

I'll never quit being disturbed by folks that complain about safety which is for THEIR own good
If you have a fast car be proud that you have to step up to some big boy rules.
