well the car is more than safe, just doesnt meet every NHRA rule, its a grudge racing/street car so i dont want to put anymore safety equipment in it than what it has.

Help me decide, I am stuck here.....I got two once in a lifetime deals this year, I cant really do both.

Hot Rod Power tour is ending in my hometown this year. I wanted to drive the car 3.5 hours north and back to be in it.

OR

Go to the LTx shootout, also once in a lifetime, close enough for me to get to this year with a 8 hour tow.

Survey says.........................?

Exactly. I think that this race should be a "must do" for anyone that enjoys participating in the LTX section of this forum. Especially those that like to tell us how fast they can run.

I will be running my cars at both IHRA and NHRA races this year, but I am looking forward to this one race the most.

LTx shootout if you have to pick just one....but since these are at different times of the year why not both? The PT was fun but IMO its gotten way too big and the venues just aren't big enough anymore to hold everyone....back in 99 it was a blast. The price is out of control to go now...I just got the notice in the mail and its $70....WTF
