Question about atco?
For atco's race schedule, for tomorrow it says street and grudge racing/gamblers race, and for thursday it says muffled street cars and motorcycles. What is the difference? I just have a pretty much stock C5 and I want to run the car. I think I used to go on test and tune nights. Which night should I go, and what do I need to know about going? Flame suit on lol. Thanks for the help.

Thursday is the day for you as you don't want to be involved with the gamblers or grudge matches. Sometimes they don't even turn on the clocks to show the ET and trap speeds of those guys.
You'll need a helmet and flame jacket.

O, well it isn't test and tune. Can you rent jackets like you can with helmets? I just looked at atco's schedule again and there are barely any test and tunes at all this year. Anyone know why?

Its all test & tune on Tues & Thurs..
Or in other words, time shots...
There is ALWAYS an ET posted, unless you ask for a no time run..
On Tues the ALSO have a Gamblers race,,, but that is NOT mandatory.
Tues is:
Time Shots & a gamblers race
Thurs is basically "street" night:
Time shots only..

I know at e-town you need the jacket if you are 10 seconds or faster or if you have any power adders, i.e. super charged, nitrous. Since you stock you are fine. If you go to buy a helmet check out the rules so you get one meeting the curent Snell or SFI Specifications.
