NG13 - Drag Races

**Lori** · 05-29-2013, 11:11 PM

We've had A LOT of questions about the drag races this year, so I'm hoping to answer a few of them here.

First, the drag races will be offered on Wednesday evening. This is during Gateway's weekly Test 'N Tune event, which we believe will make things MUCH better for our racers.

Our group will have their own staging lanes, and will run only against each other. The others will be running between our runs, giving us ample time to cool down and prep for the next race. In years past, we've had to run in rapid succession, causing problems with the cars. Everything else will be the same. The drag race cost this year is only $30, down from last year. What a great time to try it!!

Very cool. Weekday nights are normally a great time to hit the strip. Traffic is normally light and you can get as many runs in as you want.

how strict are they on cages and other safety regulations?

all new management and owners, and none of us has ran since they reopened.

previously I've run my stealth to 12.8's without a helmet and a cooler full of beer in the back seat, lmao. Don't count on the new guys being laid back.

Hope it's not like New England Dragway..."SFI Balancer, Clutch, and Flywheel?...Driveshaft loop?...Scatter shield?"

I had to have my stock rad overflow connect to a secondary overflow because of the tech inspectors there.

Someone from STL needs to go to T&T and find out. Maybe Von because hit power/lack or roll bar should be a good indication.
