I saw "Time Trials" starts @ 9am

does that mean that people will get a chance to figure out there "Dial in" before elimination starts?

what if I (or one of my friends) isn't able to make it that early,
how late is too late?

this will be my first time doing this, as well as several of my friends.

your help is much appreciated.



BTW.
any suggestions/tips you guys might have would be great,


see you guys at the track

 

Usually get about 3 runs to dial in your car. Then eliminations start around noon-1ish I think. Depends on the day. If you aren't there for the first round of eliminations, I'm pretty sure you can't just jump into the 2nd round.

 

Good guess on all accounts. The back of the lanes are closed when the first car pulls out of the front.

The best place to ask these kind of questions is on the CCC board


www.CarClubChallenge.com

 

As long as you get there, signed up (find the CCC tent) teched in, etc before elims start you can race. But time trials certainly help, since every day is different. I posted some basics in my other thread.....I'll reiterate.

Draging Racing 101 for those that need it:
When you enter the track, you can tech in then, or go pit & come back. When it's time to race & your are called (& not until) report to the staging lanes. (you should see all of us heading up) Follow their directions about which lane to pull into & when to pull up, do your burnout (drive around the water box if you don't have racing tires) and stop before staging to wait for them to motion you forward. When he does, pull up to light the top bulb. WAIT! After your competitor lights his/her top blub, inch forward to light the 2nd bulb. At this point you need to BE READY TO RACE! Launch when the 3rd (last) amber light comes on. Enjoy the ride.

They announce over the PA when you are supposed to come up for time trials, and for CCC racing. They also broadcast on AM radio, but I forget the station.

 

I didn't know there were any of those stations left.

 

I believe Bremerton is 1190 AM, Pacific is 540 AM.
