I might come along for a gander too. I've got a couple of helmets for those who need them.
Don't forget to clamp your oil filter for scrutineering, that's one thing they made me do a few years back.

this is what we'll do, we will race each other, then when i finish in front of you, i'll jump out the car and film you crossing the line? Or i'll mount a camera in back window, that should give a good view of your car the whole way down the strip?

Basically they wanted you to secure the oil filter so theres no way it can unscrew itself mid race and drop your oil all over the track. I used a really big heavy duty hose clamp + a metal bracket almost against the engine block - kindof the way an anti-theft steering wheel lock works I guess.
Not sure if they are still enforcing this or not.

well it doesnt say anything about that on their website- just a helmet - long sleeves, shoes, $40, no oil leaks and a muffler. ive got no time to make some oil filter brace so i hope its all alright.

oh yeh cb ch 16- backup 17. might as well bring it along as its not too heavy ( for those concerned about weight reduction because they know i will beat them and they are trying everything they can to help their car go faster.)
