This is why we usually go to track rentals instead of test/tunes.. Adding weight to these cars can be hindering to the movement of the sr powered cars. Once they get to the 10 sec range I'm sure the cages will be in and designed to be the most effective and minimal weight.

Silver dollar may be an hour and a half from us, but it's 2.5 hours from Commerce. I just got off the phone with Mike from Atlanta Dragway. He is sending me more info, but is very accommodating to us so far including having that Friday available for the test and tune event. I asked a few more questions that I had not asked before. Long pants are required for anyone on track and a roll bar is required for anyone running faster than 11.5 in the quarter. If you were going to run that fast wouldn't you want that anyways? I know that I want to live if God forbid something goes wrong.
I 110% agree with you.

Lame. That is only gonna barely get me warmed-up on the road-trip. Anything less than 20-plus-hours to a Convention seems like just a short little commute.
Are you sure it has to be so damn close to Shreveport, LA?

If you want to drive up to the northeast caravan spot on the jersey turnpike I'm sure that will net you another 500-750 miles to the trek lol

You have over 9 months to get a more comfortable seat and the drive will be a breeze
