3. I have FORD factory drum brakes on my 9", it says "factory drum or disk brakes allowed", they are factory, just not F body factory. Is this ok? They are heavier than stock so I dont see why it would be an advantage.

4. I dont currently have a driveshaft loop, do I really need to buy one right now? NEED THIS ANSWER ASAP

5. I lost/threw away/buried in the attic the plastic things that go at the top edge of the door frames, its part of the interior, but you wouldnt notice they are missing that easily. Also am missing my plastic sills that go on the bottom of the door frame. I have "Carpet and interior panels required forward of the package shelf. Must have headliner, sun visors, instrument panel, vents, heater controls, etc." Is this a problem?

GIZMO, are you the one who makes these decisions? Will any of these things be a problem? THE WORST THING EVER would be to drive 12 hours out there and be disqualified for missing some stupid plastic sills.

Is teching in for street stock going to take longer than other classes, and thats why they ask us to be there the night before? Will I be able to take a nap in my car at the track at 4am or are the gates closed to the point there is nowhere to park? How early can I start teching in on saturday?
