Just be sure to meet all the safety regs.

i believe that if the car is still in 100% street legal form, as in catalitic converters still being used, where you have to use unleaded fuel, i do not think any unleaded fuel will pass fuel check, not sure if you have to pass tech or actually make a legitimate qualifying run to earn any points, Dave Ley a little help here thanks

This depends on what division and who's the director at the time.
Some you have to qualify and get on the ladder..
Some you just pay the tab.
You'd think it would be a uniform procedure, but it may still not be..
First hand experience...

Yes, it depends who you are and where you are. In 2000, I tried to get a rental car to get a grade point. Was told "the car must make a run, pass fuel check and get on the sheet. No street cars allowed". Later that SAME year, another person did it at least TWO, maybe THREE times, with a street vehicle, and was permitted to do so--in the SAME DIVISION as me. Three seconds over the Index. Guess being a nobody doesn't grant you the same privileges as others.

Thanks guys, I will check with the div. office to make sure. I am not worried about the Gartors this year, but we are making the transition from heads up racing to Stock or Super Stock. We have one car almost done that will easily fit in GT/JA, and my project stocker is coming along nicely. My 18yo son will more than likely do the driving till both cars are done, and he has not been on the track since mid last year when we lost the motor in his N/A 10.5 NMCA car.

As of last year here in D2 you could show up to tech to get your grade point, then go home.

As long as you paid your entry fee & passed, you could race or just load & leave.

I just confirmed with the boss man....Car must be on site to purchase a tech card, car must pass tech. After that do what you please! Just make sure all safety gear is up to date, helmet etc....present with the car.

C10 will pass

Karen , All Stockers (rental cars or not) are required to have a drive shaft loop and possibly long wheel studs to pass tech, correct?

You only need one grade point to enter just about any National Event (exceptions would be limited to D1 and possibly Norwalk or Chicago) so are you just trying to get a grade point for the Gators?

C-9 unlead will pass. We use it in Penny's car.
