Default Re: Test & Tune Pricing

Personaly I haven't been able to learn a damn thing at open test and tunes. Bagley, Cupp and I rented Maryland International Raceway nine times last year for $800.00 ----- We're allowed 8 cars and we get one lane fully prepped from 9:00 am to 5pm. Our group consists of all class cars. Everyone looks out for each other and waits for each car to complete their run from burnout to finish line so you can film and hear everything. Most make between 6-12 passes depending on what you're changing. You could actually double that amount if the car could take it. We come up a car or two short occasionally so If any of you live close enough and want to get on the call list let us know.

I generally only see a few Stockers or Super Stockers out there testing , but those that have gone realize its the best bang for your buck.

Well said Mark............
I find it a shame that most "class racers" do not bracket race. They must think it is sacrilegious. Most of the time the gate is cheaper, the payout is greater than any NHRA race and you are home that night.
If there is any doubt, just ask Mark Faul.

BTW Mark.............if you are coming south for the Holiday, shoot me a PM, lets have a beer.

Lightbulb Re: Test & Tune Pricing

At the outlaw track, 15 minutes from my front door, there is a $20 car and driver fee to test and tune. The owner raised that fee, two years ago, from $10. Not because he wanted to make more money, but because he wanted to make the crowd smaller. They were filling the place up so badly that many of the spectators were parking out on the road and it was getting to be a real nuisance for local residents. And yes, the track surface prep is just fine. Take care. Tom Worthington

Mark, there will be a lot more S/SS cars testing and running Summit races here with our current lack of tracks schedule..... Best bang for the buck out here for sure.
