Secondly, there was a thread here a little while back wondering why even bother getting sanctioned as a track operator. THIS is why, to have rules to abide by and trained tech officials and mandated Ambulances and mandatory SFI Safety training, and well I could go on.

If you race at an outlaw track, please please please try to get them sanctioned and have some safety there.

The sanctioned track I have been to for Bracket racing has never check are car.At most all you do is go pay and sign the tech card.Don't even have to take the car for them to look at.
This is at Dunn-Benson,Fayetteville,Rockingham even Darlington all are IHRA tracks.


The car that wreck at Harrells was a Corvette P/M car.
Also was his first time running as fast as he did.It was said on another Talk board that he ran his career best ET at that race to.
