They open at 3 and nothing really hard there. Just make sure you have your helmet and long pants.

No they don't rent helmets. You need to have pants, t shirt/sweat shirt/long sleeve etc, no open toe shoes, boots or gym shoes only. The helmet needs to be SA2000 or 2005 approved to race. They might let you by once with the helmet. I raced in the bracket series at 66. I had a motorcycle helmet for the first race, tech told me not to come back the following weekend unless I had the above mentioned helmet. Make sure your car is cleaned out. They will ask you to pop the hatch and hood.

Hey James good luck at the track i would love to go....

But make sure that your battery is tied down, that is what tech is looking for and to see if your leaking any fluids

Ps James remember to have a tow truck's Phone number on hand if your 10 bolt breaks!

Don't launch it past 2500 rpm

Remember if you can't PAY don't spray!
