You can also get an extended tech on March 21 so you can avoid the tech lines. I believe it will be good for all Summit ET series tracks.

Wonder if Island knows or cares that not all cars can run 10.00 slower than 135 mph.

Maybe they should think about 10.50 if they're strict on mph rules

I think he means some cars can run 10.00 but they will be going over 135mph to do it.That will probably be me Rules are different for going faster then 10.00 and faster then 135mph

If you go faster than 135 mph, legally you need a 8.50 cage, competition license, etc

I fell into that trap years ago at RP when they started enforcing the 135 mph rule

That's why Edgar switched it to 10.50

You might be right Jay,10.50 might have been better because tech when I was there last told me I can only go 11.00.I don't remember exactly what he said but the tech guy told me I didn't have something around the trans maybe a trans blanket? And if something happened it could cut into my legs,I looked at him and said the trans is in the back! He just looked at me and said you can only run 11.00.So now that I think about it I wonder how many cars will they let run 10.00.

That's exactly why Edgar had it the 10.50 index.

But, all the other tracks have 10.0 as the index, so I presume Island wants to keep it the same.

Atco and Cecil haven't given me any grief about running 137, but they certainly could if they wanted to.

I'm not a regular at either track though, due to my work schedule, so perhaps they let it slide. In fact, I didn't run any 10.0 at atco last year and only twice at Cecil...
