Last year it was i think 25 bucks to run and 15 to watch?
Rules are: If you TELL them your car will run under 14 ETs, then they'll make you wear a helmet. If you happen to state you expect to run mid 14s, and happen to run under a 14, well, i've never been booted and have a number of sub 14 ET runs. Some guys play it even safer (or less ethically, depending on your personal views) and stash any old full face motorcycle helmet in the trunk, tech in, say they are going to run a mid 14, then after tech-ing in, put the helmet on for the passes.
Or bite the bullet, (do the right thing?) and buy a helmet with a SNELL 2005 or newer rating.
Dont wear shorts or sandals.
Do PUSH AND HOLD your TC button to fully disable it.
Dont expect to run an amazing time your first pass. Not only is the track not fully prepped for Street Night, but its harder than you think to get your 60ft time down (aka your launch) so you can actually get a good ET. (unless you have an X drive stick, in which case, yeah, you'll beat a Nissan GTR for the first 60 feet... someone on these forms did that last season.
They do sell 109 octane (MS109) for 13.75 a gallon... any 335 with a JB4, Map 5 and some extra cash ought to be able to take advantage of this... just run the car on the street (route 101 would be ideal, its the highway right next to the track) You need it to adapt to the fuel with a few solid 3rd gear pulls.
