Sounds like you all need to come down here and run at 1 of the tracks we go to. The tech in goes like this
Track Official: " Do you have your helmet?"
You: " Yes sir I do"
Track Official: "What does it run?"
You: "9.80's, my buddy is going to ride with me to take some video"
Track Official: " Go ahead and ya'll have fun"
Track Official: " Do you have your helmet?"
You: " Yes sir I do"
Track Official: "What does it run?"
You: "9.80's, my buddy is going to ride with me to take some video"
Track Official: " Go ahead and ya'll have fun"

Sounds like the Mayhem is in the front office! At Northern Michigan Dragway, (1/8th mile), we have $5.00 Street Nites. If you run in the 7's or faster, you have to run a helmet. You can have a passenger. It's a party 2-3 times a month. One of the only problems we had was the 4X4's left dirt on the track. For safety, we made them go to the cool down and clean off their frames and tires, (along with normal street cars). The classes are in .5 second intervals, (5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, and so on). No trophies or money pay outs. Just run what you brung. It's a party and brings alot of people that normally run on the street to the safety of the track and no BS about your true times. We also go to Milan Dragway for the No ET Drags, ($40.00 entry for the racer). That is the best, but it's 4 hours from here. It's worth every minute!! Can't wait til spring. It's the best thing for a bad economy, here.

Yeah that should deff get some news coverage from all the "Street Cars" going to the street instead of the track because of this.........................I can understand having to have the NHRA safety equipment, but just saying you can't have a aftermarket blower or transmission is poor judgment on the part of the track officials......................it would be nice if some of the guys over the SEMA show would see what is happening and realize they are discouraging people in that area from using products displayed at their show..........................................So the way it sounds a Gt500 with a KB blower couldn't run on the street night even if the car had the appropriate safety equipment..............Contact the track officials.......surely that is just a misprint or poor wording

Did anyone read towards the bottom?
The tinting thing is going to eliminate a lot of people too.
Windshield, windows: Mandatory, as produced by OEM manufacturer only. Must be in good condition and free of cracks. Windshield/window tint must meet the applicable state requirements. Windows must be closed during races; need not be operable.

This sucks. If you have aftermarket mods to your car they now consider you a race car and will not let you run on the street night.

I tell people all the time how horribly this track is run but many don't believe me. Thier stupidity supercedes them. They will go from 400+ racers showing up for midnight mayhem to having 100 or so kids in their moms accord ripping off mad 16-18 sec passes while not having their time displayed.
Time for me to rethink my cars setup. I liked going to the track because I didn't have to worry about cops when making high speed runs and got to see the results of changes to the car. Looks like I need to go full race car if I want to run at the track
They don't have a lot of TNT's either, and they are always busy as hell because of it. Lucky to get 3 passes for 50-75 bux. I guess it's time to quit racing.

The videos are long, but worth it. The second video shows how pack it gets at the line.

Tint is Las Vegas is like survival equipment. HELLO, it's in a ******* desert?!?
LVMS is a perfect example of what a facility run by businessmen who have ZERO interest in cars looks like. As opposed to a lot of fun tracks that are run by Car Nuts that happen to have a business.
Boycott the SOB's!

I wouldn't quit racing or rebuild the car. But, I would pack up the ride and head to different tracks. Get a cheap truck + trailer and tow it if need be. A 3-4 hour drive to Cali to race at a fun track is way better than a 20 minute drive to sit in line all night and deal with stupid people.
I know making change might seem like a pain....but you'll be happier in the long run. (And get the satisfaction of not supporting money-grubbing homos interested in a quick buck and ego trip at ya'lls expense.)
So you'll get the 9sec pass somewhere other than Las Vegas.... It might not have been your origonal goal, but in a nutshell......who cares if you're having fun and can track the car's progress.
Good luck to ya'.

I like how all tracks say they are against street racing and then they pull **** like this. I understand having safety rules but this is retarded. I hope street racing goes up 400% in Las Vegas.
