Just wondering if anyone is planning on going to any tracks on their opening days. Im pretty sure Gateway open on March 18 and i know ill be there, anybody else?? Does anyone know of any other opening days for any "local" strips lol.

 

I'm also curious, I was looking to find out what day US41 opens but I couldnt find anything on their website, also are there any tracks where I can run without a helmet ? Probably just mid 12s

 

03/05/06 10:00am - 03:00pm Test and Tune at U.S. 41 Dragway

 

Byron opens 4/1
Rt. 66 opens 4/15

 

I'm hoping to hit US41 on opening day March 5!

 

Octane: Are you coming to my place to get your rear on the 4th then? I am ready for this.

 

Yup, that's the plan.

 

You need a helmet at 41 if your running faster than a 12.99 right ?

 

I thought nhra said like 13.99 or faster...

I'm suprised 41 requires any sort of safety at all. The one time I went the tech guy just asked if I thought my car was safe, I said yeah, he welcomed me to the track.

 

Last time I was there the guy mentioned something about a helmet...

 

I always got my helmet in the Z. Im just worried about not having a cage lol. I think i might be just quick enough this year to need one

 

US41 is IHRA again now, so expect them to be a little tighter on tech.

 

looks like im gunna have to get a helmet....

 

I need a new one too, mine is open face and non-Snell, which ain't worth dung anymore.

 

so us41 does good track prep? i'd like to see the difference sub-frames make to mt 60' and they'll be here this time next week. i have no patience, which means they'll get installed within 24 hrs of their arrival..

i'd have a LONG *** drive from the south side of indy..

 

Octane whats the best / cheapest place to get one ?

 

I've been looking around on Ebay and the following...
