Here is a link to the site for much faster cars but will likely not apply for our Cobalts unless someone has some SERIOUS power!http://www.texasmotorplex.com/rules.php

For either NOOBS or cars that will be faster this year....I wanted to put out a reminder for one simple rule commonly forgotten or unknown.* Please post any other rules that you think people will need to know as the drag/road race season is arriving.If your car is quicker than 13.99 in the 1/4...you MUST have a Helmet as stated above!See you all at the Bash.

 

Have fun everyone! Wish I lived in the states to make it to these events.

 

wow, thats some seriously strict ******* helmet rules...

 

It really isn't. It's the standard guideline that all sanctioned tracks are supposed to follow.

 

i wish i could brake the 13's but ill be just happy if i can get a 14.0 this is my frist time ever to a drag strip!! and i dont own a helmet so i just dont have to run faster then a 13.99 witch im pretty sure since i dont have the driver mod i wont :P

 

we have to wear pants? its gonna be hot as fawk!!

 

If you call 70's hot, then yea it going to be hot.

 

man alot of people are only gonna get 1 run if they get faster then 13.99 lol

 

I got my helmet if i decide to go.

 

i may live in tx now but i grew up for 8 yrs in washington state.. texas sucks... nice weather to me is 40* or less.. lol ask my friends. i will wear shorts with the wind blowing hard at 40

 

Did 2 years in WA and ID and thank god I am back here. 40 to me is ******* COLD! I will take 110 over 40 any day!

 

*crosses fingers* 50* air please lol

 

I was looking at the 15 day forecast and it could very well be. But that track run perfect in the 70's and 80's.

 

I guess, but i mean, if i would have had slicks i could have run a 13.9 in my bone stock SS/SC.

 

And from what I have seen around the country its pretty standard and you would have to of worn a helmet stock or not. If I am not mistaken its a NHRA rule not the track.

 

i want 50's lol.

this man is correct

 

whats the average time of a stage 2 ss/sc

 

hmm.. thats crazy, should have looked into it, never had that issue, but i know a lot of people never wore helmets that ran into the low13's. Maybe the Fayetteville Motor Speedway doesn't give a ****, haha. They probably don't actually, that place is ghetto as hell.

 

how far is it from you? And how far from va beach? sometime this year, I want to go down there.

 

hmm. post went bye bye.

I am assuming you're out of Norfolk Naval station. its about 230 miles, or about 4 hours away.

thats not too bad. If you come down this way though, we should try to time it so that it coincides with a trip to a better track up in Rockingham, or someplace aorund there, along with the Raleigh crew.

 

my bike helmets are DOT aprove does that count? i mean **** if its safe to ride a bike im pretty sure it is to in the car lol. bike aka motorcycle before anyone tries to be a smartass. if not someone bring a helmet i can borrow!! i know ill b in the 13s or better be ha

 

That will work...I use a dirtbike helmet and I just took the visor off the top of it and never been questioned.

 

i may be able to make it since i will be in san antonio that weekend it just depends on if i have class or not.

 

okay good to know

hell yea man well i think im leaving friday the 27th with a few people around noon or so just hit me up

 

rbc could i possibly borrow your helmet when youre not racing if you do decide to go??
