No can do.

Space City show on that date as well as many other holiday functions.

Come on by Bass Pro at Beltway & 288 instead.

If my Vette gets delivered, count me in. As for drag racing, I intend to get a couple thousand miles of break in time before running her..........however when you get out there, see the cars running, smell the smell of burning rubber, who really knows what will happen.

Default Possibilities

What are the chances of you getting us time slots that the events will be taking place?? For those of us attending the Space City Corvette show we may be able to come out later in the afternoon! I for one would love a 30-130 pass or two! Let us know, bro!

If I did make this for the 13th....how would that affect folks in this forum...in other words, who else would be in as it has not been real well received here thus far?? I am open to change if needed.

Default Information wanted

Is this still set to happen? What are all the FEEs associated with this event. I'm a noob and have never done any of these events but it would be a perfect opportunity to see how my 30-130 does. If I am only interested in the 30-130 event how much would the $ be? Also what is the required safety gear stuff that I would need? I have nothing so I need to start shopping for whatever I need. I haven't ran the 1/4mile since I modified, but I think I should be low 11s. I was 13.1 before so don't assume I have anything when making a suggestion/recommendation. Thanks all for your input. Perhaps I could be +1

It is either $30 or 40 for a tech card. Normally nothing is required when doing the 60-130 run as far as safety goes. They may want you to wear a helmet so would recommend getting one...or you can use mine. There are a number of things happening but the 60-130 is what i am doing as well. Recently put spray in my car and want to see what it will do with a shot of juice.
