Don't forget you need the proper safety equipment, liscense, fuel check valve, etc.
. I have comp number etc.. No license needed, im double checking, all the safety stuff, and ill worry about plumbing the sample valve once I have a motor in haha. I have read all the stock section, but am going to re read general rules tonight. Been awhile since I have had to look at some of the basic safety stuff... Should not be too much for a near stock car running low 13s, high 12s.. Battery still in o.e. location, stock fuel tank/lines etc.. Already covered wholes in firewall... Have helmet.... Ill dbl check everything tonight.

You run a Turbo Coupe yeah? Marty, while in Indy I brought a friend of mine that I tune and build mitsu motors for, and finally after a cpl years of trying I think I have him sold on real racing. He wanted to know if there was anything he could race his Evo in at divisionals.. I said no, but the Turbo Coupe that has been in his fam since new in 86 and still has the window sticker on it that is his daily drive now could run in stock... So today he got his points number, and we are installing down pipe, different manifold, fuel pump, wideband, and some other stuff.. Ecu is hopefully on the way. I am crossing my fingers it runs under... It is slooooww now. Never tuned a 2.3 turbo, I am hoping there is a lot on the table stock.

I here ya.. Im not concerned with making it go fast. I just want the grading point. I was just looking at all possible scenarios.


Thanks for the help guys, and feel free to give me any advice on the most minor details. Like I said im not new to sportsman drag racing, just new to class racing.
