With the mods I have in my sig. Will I need a driveline loop? I will be running street tires as well.
I have a helmet it is a like 4 years old so Hopefully that won't be a problem.

DRIVE TRAIN – DRIVELINE – Driveshaft loop required on all cars running 13.99 or quicker or any car equipped with racing slicks, drag radials or street slicks.
It looks like your car should be easily into the 12s with that combo. They "might" let you race if it's your first time and you agree to add one for the future. It depends on who you get for tech.

Yes tech is tighter at Bremerton, that just means that you don't have to worry about the guy in the other lane as much. I would rather have picky tech guys then the ones that basicly go around and pickup tech cards and never even look under the hood.

I've seen mishaps that could have been very serious at PR that could have been totally avoided with any kind of tech. One instance comes to mind when a racer in the staging started his car in gear (no neutral safety switch) and winged the throttle and smashed into the car in front of him. He hit an El Camino with the tailgate down. If there had been anyone between the cars, it would have been VERY bad.

^^From the sounds of it there might be a few LS1tech people over in Brem. But that drive for you might be a little long. lol. I am leaving Whidbey in the Morning and staying at the Inlaws until the gate opens. I need to get some time slips under my belt. haha.
Would any of you that are going to Brem happen to have an extra Driveline loop for sale. Or are willing to part with????

I did get all of my issues sorted out, except for one, and we are waiting on a final word, but good to 9.99.
Ponyeater, maybe spraying this weekend, still getting some bugs worked out (the tach is off 500rpm and I hit the limiter every gear, going to try and change my driving a bit).

Is the tach off or the driver? Even my autometer tach is off a little! you would be amazed how fast some motors rev. watch a playbach tach sometime and you will see guys with shift lights that come on 500rpms before they make the shift.

I wish it was like you said.
I don't have a cam, I had one on the way. I ordered it about a month ago, and then came into a money situation so I had to cancel it. Now I have to wait till atleast next month in order to order it again.
