Re: Brainerd this weekend

That box and setup was legal when I installed it, wouldn't suprise me if someone had an issue in the past and the made the rules tighter. The switch is not fun putting the handle on but not a ton of places to mount the switch which isn't visible in everyday driving. Did't car to put a decent hole in the car to make it work.

Can any car run? I plan on road racing but maybe I could take it down the strip a time or two. I was suprised in the 4cy classes in the muscle car event. Should be fun.

I dunno about any car. I'd look into the rules about that. Brent suggested I run and get a base time in, since I have yet to do so, but then again, I might be busy with other things, and there is still a ton to complete on the car in my eyes to make it "track worthy"

Re: Brainerd this weekend

I thought the show and go was pretty good this year. I was at the road course but I thought there were quite a few people at the strip. Couldn't ever imagine either event keeping up with the NHRA as far as attendance.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.

I also think the show and go was pretty busy. I guess the problem with drag racing is that it is fun to watch for a little bit then just gets boring. If you know someone it is more entertaining but watching one car after another can get boring.
