California Speedway roll call!!! 10/27/07
#121
Hey Wally and Vlad, I had a great time meeting you guys again … Wally second run was not good I got 14.1 spinning the tires off the line. My best was 13.7 for the day. The wait at California Speedway was amazing, I got my second run in at 3:00 pm arriving at the track at around 7:15 am. I decided to stick around since people were leaving hoping to get a third run and it turned out that from 4:15 pm to about 5:15 pm I got 4 runs for a total of 6 runs , that made my day.
And a fyi to those who are running FI or nitrous and being faster than 13.99 seconds, there is new NHRA rule stating that the driver not only needs a helmet but a racing jacket also. This is for cars that have those power adders which are not oem, they didn’t enforce the rules for me on my runs, but they did give me a bit of a hard time at the tech inspection.

What mods do you have and you need a racing jacket now?
I wonder if a bike jacket would do.

let me know if you're interested, cuz I still am. I bumped the thread to the top so you can check it out.
I need to buy a helmet if I go to that event though, so the sooner you tell me the sooner I'll get the helmet.

And for the racing jacket, yeah thats what the tech inspector said to me, she even took out a NHRA handbook showing the new rule to me. She was also giving a ford pickup in front of me a hard time about the jacket. I was trying to ask her what kind of jacket specifically but she kept saying a racing jacket so I don't really know if a bike jacket will do.

but I'm not gonna buy the helmet anytime soon since by the looks of it nobody is gonna end up going on the 30th..
Philip was able to go on the 9th but I'm getting my custom wood door for the house installed that day sucks and I can't reschedule it either..
