They've asked me to stop racing a couple times but they're reasonable, or have been in the past. I haven't been back since SAR closed and changed ownership. Appears to still be IHRA for what it's worth.

I've got a lot of shit going on, but this at least gives me a target date. I'll see if I can get her race ready, she's really close. I won't register or attend anything else, but I'd like to be there Saturday night.

Im registered, the car is not either. Not sure if I can get it done on time due to business start up.

Do you guys want a list of who has said they are going or who has already registered? At this time....that is a very different list lol.
Also have a tentative food truck, will be updating the top post with info

The link to the site states their rules. They arent too bad from what I can tell.

Track is super lax with the rules, I got 3 runs in with old setup and just a helmet and lap belt.

After that though, they knew the car and had to make some improvements.

The people that actually registered LOL.

You guys aren't making me too confident. "Lax but...." I have a cage but it's not certified yet. No battery cutoff, driveshaft loop, belly pan or chute. Not driving 16hrs to get only one run! Although that'll be enough to smoke Adam[emoji12][emoji383]

And the website says basically nothing. Helmet for less than 13.99. If that's it, then it shouldn't matter if "they know your car." No rules so they shouldn't be able to give you crap. My local IHRA track doesn't tech at all but it's only an 1/8th.

Not sure if we can make it. My wife's sister is in San Antonio but thought she would be more enthusiastic about going than she is.

Ah come on, captain crybaby!

As of this moment the list is very small. With talking to Mark, Im told thats pretty normal at this stage. So far registered is:
RyeH
Blinkra182
Turbo Beast
Logan Pugh (not sure of SN)

Also on a side note about the track, I will call tomorrow to find out full rules. I do believe its mainly no leaks, loose battery, etc. Basics. Ill confirm that tomorrow. In addition, Josh with SAR told me that if we get a large enough registers in an early enough time, they will rope off a section for us.

Ok so I talked to Josh at SAR and he pretty much pointed me to the IHRA rules. The track is an IHRA certified track so they follow those rules. 13.99 or faster requires helmet, 10s and faster require a cage, etc.

Also I want to reveal a few of our sponsors.
Bosque Apparel (Shirts)
DuTTch & Spydergirl (Trophies)
Rock Auto
Summit Racing

More to come!

Please make sure you check the main post regularly because I will continue to edit it with more details, updates, sponsors, and registrants etc.

In Kansas??? Must be a phenomenal painter! Too bad. You can still come out though!

Family is there and yes, the guy that does my paint work takes personal pride in what he does. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I dropped it off and told him what I would like but that he could change it up however he sees fit.

Just picked up another sponsor!!
