How crowded is the Friday T&T typically? I'm debating on trying to footbrake with the 10.90's on Sunday, but I'd need some serious testing to get to 10.90.

See ya there Mark, Ron the T&T usually don't have that many cars. You know this is a double race 1 Saturday and 1 Sunday you can run both come on down.

Ron Gusack · 07-25-2016, 10:32 PM

Yeah, I know it's a 2 day, but I'm only good for Sunday and that's if I can get to run the number on Friday. Hopefully it'll go through tech without issues. I think it's legal. I have to join IHRA and get the license too.

As long as all of your safety gear helmet, seat belts and such are up to date you be good. You'll also need trans shield, flex plate shield sfi flex plate and balancer the normal stuff to run in the 10s.

Ron Gusack · 07-26-2016, 09:50 AM

I don't have a flexplate shield and thought they weren't required until 9.99. Balancer, flexplate, and trans shield are all sfi, but are a little out of date. Maybe I need to rethink this.

Ron, you'll probably be ok as long as your belts and helmet are ok. I can't remember if diapers and collector theaters are NHRA or IHRA?
