My question is in regards to practice before taking the passes. If I take the car to a test and tune night at the tracks near me will I have to have the license just to run it down the track, or would I be allowed to make some practice runs before taking my runs for the license?

Saw your post. I faced the same dilemma when my S/S car was finished. I took it to a local track test 'n tune session with no class designation on the windows to make sure that I could get if off the line satisfactorily and could handle the normal S/S things like the trans brake, two-step, air shifter, and wheel stands. I had raced in Stock for thirty years at that point but the brake, the air shifter, and BIG wheelies were unfamiliar territory. Throughout the process of becoming accustomed to the car I made several 1000' passes, lifting after that cone on the track each time. No one said a thing as long as I didn't lay down a 9 second pass. When the time came to make the license runs, I felt very confident in meeting the requirements for that process.
Good luck with the car and the licensing.
