I read about it and it says, any and all are welcome. Also mentioned is that it is handicapped, so those of us with small amounts of mobs can enjoy.

My question, how many stock to lightly mod Vette's go? I should have my new headers, high flow cats, and exhaust installed, and already had 3.73's, but I really don't want to be the only one running 13's. :lol:

There are plenty of people in the 13's with a few in the 14's and 15's. Come on out and give it shot. My 2000 Hardtop has a Blackwing Intake and Borla Exhaust and I am usually in the low to mid 13's except when it gets cold, my best is a 12.93.

No need to worry about that...I haven't run under 13.4 and I finished 5th in the points last year, my first year even drag racing !....in bracket racing the closer to stock the car is the more consistent it is...you have a great set up for the Challenge.. :yesnod:

We follow the IHRA rules for safety...basically it depends on how fast your car is...the faster it is the more safety equipment you need... :D
