I'll try to make a daytime appearance on Saturday. Is this strictly outlaws or can I bring my stock 442 for a rip down the strip?

Anything that Olds Buick or Pontiac powered can roll down the strip stock or full blown racecar

[jim77]

May try to bring my car on sat. Just to park in pits and look around. The coolest part is watching vista cruisers with the left front wheel in the air.

[74hurstolds]

Does Byron require helmets for a 14 second car? If so do they rent them?

[74hurstolds]

Hmmm... probably just end up spectating. Looks like it's just strictly races, not line them up and run them...

I will Call Ron tomm and ask him if they have a class like that and post back tomorrow after I talk to him

[THE MALIGOON]

Ok just talked to Guys from track Test and Tune is still gonna happen which means you bring 30 to 35 bucks Per car + the passenger cost to get in, (( if you bring people in your car's )) you can as many laps as you lil heart desires and they can fit in !!!!

[THE MALIGOON]

ALSO FOR ALL THE GUYS COMING I AM SETTING UP PARKING ON THE FIRST ENTRANCE TOWARDS THE GATE IN THE GRASS, I am trying to get a reserved spot for the group that is coming with the G3's and such so I need to know how many from here are bringing there cars ??

[74hurstolds]

I'll bring one, my brother may bring a 88 H/O. Not sure if you want it strictly G3's.

Do you know anything regarding helmets? Do I need one, if so do they rent them?

[oldstofty]

Byron is a NHRA track, if your car goes faster than 13.99 you will need a helmet. Most tracks do not rent helmets but craigslist has em all day long.

[74hurstolds]

Okay, I doubt my car will go that fast although it's never been ran before. Do they just take your word for it or if you don't know how fast it goes will they make you? I suppose I'll just worry about it when I get there.

I should just pick one up sometime but I won't be able to get one before Saturday.

I am having two people bring them just in case I can bring a moto-x one as well for the big headed guys like me ( more brains ) LMAO

[74hurstolds]

Hey Anthony do you know when test and tune starts and how long it goes for? I saw that the gates open at 8 and races at 10. Is test and tune from 8-10?

[THE MALIGOON]

Gates open till 8 am races start at 10 and test and tune is all day NOT just for a few hours

[ragz442]

Sounds like a great time, have fun and don't forget to take some pics!

[THE MALIGOON]

I did take pics the meet and greet was today there ........ I will not be going tomm

[74hurstolds]

haha awesome pics of me and my bro thanks for shooting those! My very first run was a 15.29 then I turned it up a notch and got rid of the tools in the trunk and did a 14.84. Really it probably was the secondary spring I changed out on the holly, put the lightest one in there, white. Had the small yellow one the first run. What a fun time, thanks for getting everyone together Anthony and it was great to finally meet you. I'll definitely come back out next year, maybe before then. I'm addicted! Too bad there were zillions of Mustang's there today...

[THE MALIGOON]

Awesome you got a photo of the launch!

[88hurstolds]

Here are some of the ones I took, I have many more to upload still...
Great to meet a few of the crew, I'm addicted to the smell of rubber and nitro now... :)
There were a few ROP guys there, saw some cars that I'm used to seeing on realoldspower.com

Gotta love the Nuclear Power Plant cooling towers at the end of the strip :lol:
