Yeah it's popular in this area, and the only other option is Pacific Raceways in Kent. If you haven't found it, here's the Bremerton website. http://www.bremertonraceway.com/
Next weekend, I might see you out there. What day are you planning to go?

Some people say they are kinda tuff with the rules. But they have been real lax with me. They just ask if I have a power adder, and I say no, and they say your good...
That was with my prior car though, I have not taken the SS there yet. So we will have to see.

The schedule shows Test n Tune on Friday the 15th. The track is decent for street cars, just way out in the boonies! The main things you'll need are long pants and probably a helmet. The rest is basic NHRA stuff depending on your speed/ET, and they are kinda picky.

Any DOT/SNELL approved helmet will work. As long as it is not expired. You can usually find a decent helmet around the 120 range for brand new.. The nicer the helmet, the more it is.

TnT is where you run your street car / bike against the clock, as opposed to competition with eliminations. Other events you have to be entered to race, but TnT is like open practice.

Friday evening at Bremerton is usually not very crowded. That's where you can get the most practice on your launches. Saturdays at Bremerton, and any day at Pacific, are much more crowded and you'll get around one pass per hour.

Jesus they want a driveshaft saftey loop on all cars running 13.99 or faster? Thats nuts! Its why I bought an over engineered driveshaft!
What are the track fees/cost per run? I only saw a little form with a 5 dollar fee.
