I should be there. I know of at least ten Marines bringing their cars..WS6's, Challenger, Vette, etc. and some friends from work bringing their 60's muscle cars. It should be a good time...busy but a good time.

yeah good luck even getting three passes. like John said, it is the first test and tune. 66 is 3 miles away from my house, and i drive 65 miles to 41 because they are always packed and have a super strict tech inspection.

I don't mind the tech inspection. It's for safety.
fyi...

yeah, well when you have a slow car, they don't give you that much of a hassle. and safety is one thing, but they are overkill there.

wheel studs not long enough, harnesses not sfi approved, helmet not dot/snell approved, no driveshaft loop, and no cage.

umm...that's for the really fast cars, right? what about a more normal car, do you need harnesses and DS loop ?

i think 12.99 and faster is the DS loop rule, and i guarantee harnesses won't apply to you if you still have the stock seatbelts. have fun getting more than 2-3 runs on OPENING DAY!
