OK. NHRA track. Can I run my 61' with the soft top down? If so, does the 13:50 still apply? Thanks. Bert.

Bert, thats for signing up and racing with us.
Beach Bend is an NHRA TRACK and is governing by their rules.
By rule to run an open roster you need almost the same safety equipment as you would in a 9.99 car plus your required arm restraints.
I have to tell everyone going to be prepared for the worst as far as rules go and hope the management of Beach Bend will be lenient for us and show some consideration that day.
