Default Texas Motorplex Ennis Question???

I searched and went on their web page so please don't tell me to do a search

I have not taken my car out for a while and I need to run it in this great weather. I wanna run it on a test in tune night deal like kennedale has on Wednesday nights . What night or day is the best for this at the Motorplex? I wanna get 4-5 hits and I don't wanna take it out there on an event day or bracket racing. I know Saturday is bracket racing. Thanks

Do you have something to back up this claim? Their website calendar is blank for November, so is their full schedule.

What he means, most likely, is that you get one warning run for no helmet. You can run a second time, but they'll tell you to leave I guess. If you run 13.99 or faster then you need a helmet.

I've been hearing they are open again this Saturday.

Last Saturday, they said they may open if weather is nice enough.

my bad i must have been thinking about this past weekend...

and yes i should be in the mid to low 10's...ive got no cage just a helment...i think you can run out there a 13.0 without a helment no faster...11.5 without a cage
last time out there on my old setup i busted off a 11.3 turning the nitrous at the 150 ft or so...then i went through the 1/8 and **** down again and still went too fast...

i could go and roll through the beams to start the ticker...but i think i can still trap over 135...so no luck id need a cage...plus everytime i been out there had problems with track prep...ill be sticking to 1/8 mile so i can run all out
i just hate redline because they seem wayy too high out there...might goto denton or k-dale before then end of nov

What might keep you from passing? I haven't had an issue, then again my car isn't all that fast either. They just ask if I'm running nitrous, when I reply "no," they write a number on my window and I'm good.

This is killing me! I want to go, but I'm doing a total revamp of my nitrous system and won't have it ready by then. Are they going to be open on the 17th?
