    it's cool if people talk bad about IW i guess...don't they always talk and talk only anyways.... i would like the talkers to come out and see for themselves. it's more then just racing... a community of car enthusiast all put together. even v8's come out and TnT...you should see their faces when 4cyls or 1.3L rotaries turn in 7-8sec passes.

    anyhow, getting back to your question. If you were the first to tech and get in line right away, I would honestly say you can get nearly 10 passes by the time the classes do qualifing passes. even after that there are in-between TnT lanes open throughout the day. this sat. we race 3pm-9pm...or so. you can go earlier and get more passes this sat. if it doesn't rain...good luck

    Ummm doubt it. Its about insurance.

    If you crash and die without have proper equipment, and they let you keep running, they can be sued.

    Along with running "clocks off", you look really dumb when you are only running an 11 second capable vehicle. If you were a PRO car running at PRO events in a 8-second and faster car, with all the safety requirements to boot, then go for it.

    People will just laugh otherwise, and wonder why you are too cool to post your times. (I.E. ricer).

    Just run in Test and Tune's or run in the Pro-FWD class (at least you can compete for a chance to win $500).

    A lot of rules are strongly enforced (for good reason) like the 13.9
    helmet rule, a car steady in the 10's a cage or a 150mph car needing
    a chute but a FWD in the mid 11's wont get you thrown out your
    first pass.
