Route 66 is really close ot me though Ive never been there. When are these nights usually? Im sure they wont start them until the summer and that theyll announce them via their website.
you pay when you show up, they will ask if your racing or spectating, pay your fee, then you have to go to into tech inspection (ihra is more relaxed with saftey than nhra), they go through your car to make sure that it meets the requirements for the time you run, after tech you get into the staging lanes, then you wait your turn to get up to the lights
no special tires for T&T, its pretty much run what'cha brung, you can run a minivan if you want
saftey equipment varyes with your ET, if your still in the 13s all you need is a helmet

BTW, Byron opens Sat April 1, and RT 66 opens Sat April 15. I will probably be at both but not running the car.
Byron is the actual town where the track is at, SW of Rockford. It is kinda close to the Rockford airport (still a good 10-15min drive) but that is as SW as the Rockford border goes. I would recommend taking highway 2 to get there, its a pretty sweet drive, especially in the fall
