If I am crazy enough...maybe.

I'm in Larry! I was about to start this thread too. I've been watching weather.com like a hawk the past few days. I will definately be there with my car and another friend with a Z28.

Dug: Should be about $40 to race. You need a helmet if you are 13.99 or faster. They also rent helmets- $5 or $10 I can't remember.

so yo are going to just try and get one pass in before you get the boot...they are nhra arent they...11.49 or faster and you need a cage...

i know my car will pass tech but i will get only one run in the 10s...

Could fine tune it and try 1/8mile then give it one blast in the 1/4

I am going to most likely go to 41 if they are open...If they are closed i might be up there for my 10.80 pass..
