20 to race, 5 to watch

bring DL, Reg and Ins.

Basically for normal everyday cars, if the car can pass a saftey it will pass tech...

I'm assuming you are talking about Secret Street (street legal drag races). If so, all you need is a snell 95 or newer helmet. You can pick up a really basic one for $100 - $150 from most motorcycle shops, dont need anything fancy. You could also rent one from Race City if you show up early at the street legals.

You also need to have the car registered under your name, if it is not registered under your own name you need to get written permission from the registered owner on a letterhead that has the owners name (pretty dumb).

And, of course you need to pay the $20 and pass the tech inspection.

I'm definately going tonight, last friday was pretty good, it gets pretty chilly out at night now tho, so I suggest dressing warm for anyone planning to watch.

What happens if you have the car under one of your parents name, and they do not have a letterhead? Seems like a pretty dumb rule, not everyone's parents are employed in big office settings with fancy letterheads :dunno:

why do you need to have the car insured? what if i decide that i dont need the car insured since i only use it at the track and i just tow it in?

If you go out there and drive intelligently and don't push beyond what you are comfortable with, you should never have any troubles running at race city, road course, quarter mile or oval. It's people who go out and drive like maniacs, taking the car to a level well beyond what their own abilities can handle that make it dangerous for everyone else, and are likely to be seeing their car go to the body shop from the track.
