Come on down it should be a good time. My dad and I have been drag racing for years. Hell I've been driving down that track for almost 30 years now starting all the way back in my Jr. Dragster in 1991.

Twin V8 vs twin V6...I did pretty good

Always someone better faster. But you cannot beat a SHO when you buy one used and tune it.

LOL its still funny to think 1991 is nearing 30 years ago.

Scary, really.

How does it work with helmets? They stingy? I have a couple MC/Snowmobile Snell helmets, no auto ones tho.

You'll need a 2010+ helmet.  Snell?  I brought a MC helmet.  I used to ride so my 06 helmet no good.  I borrowed a friend's.....what year is it?  2010.  Ok cool.  Get down to and they look under the foam inside and find the year of the helmet...I didn't look that hard....it was a 2005!  Lucky they let me get on with it, only this time they said.  You'll need pants and shoes too.  I wore shorts and sandals but had that in my car.  T shirt is fine.  They look at your engine bay, watch you strap your front seat belt on......good to go!

I should be good then, the snowmobile helmet is only 2 years old. The MC ones.....might not be new enough, lol, doesn't help that I mostly run a half helmet when riding....they won't "Snell" those for some weird reason, lol

[802SHO]

You're golden.  I'll either buy a cheap one or borrow the appropriate year.  They told me the will confiscate old helmets...glad they didn't take my buddys

You can wear a snell motorcycle helmet but NOT a DOT. It has to be snell rated. Mine is a m2015 which is a motorcycle helmet. The oldest snell cert that's allowed is snell2010

Wait, they said they'd confiscate someones personal property?

Good luck with that.

Also make sure you are wearing pants and at least a T-shirt. They will not let you run with a tank top.

Damn!  Guess I won't be wearing my racerback tank top haha and yes that's what he told me, you bring this helmet back and we'll toss it and motioned as if there was a dumpster behind him...I said..ok.  He was letting me use it but yes good luck actually taking a helmet from me and throwing it..police would have a hard time trying to take my helmet let alone a track tech

[shoNoff]

The techs there think they are the police. I know the NHRA rule book better then most of those morons. They used to try to tell me I needed an SFI fire jacket to run my SRT4 because it didn't come factory with a turbo.
