Post by: Bruce on August 13, 2012, 03:28:25 PM: Compared to faster cars, they will be very lenient.

Long pants
driver's licence
battery clamped down tight
hubcaps removed
stock seatbelts in good shape
full set of lug nuts

They may enforce the fuel line rule (max 12" of hose for the entire car), so if you have dual carbs with 3-4 feet of hose laying all over your engine, you'll probably be kicked out.

Post by: silas on August 14, 2012, 10:45:48 PM: hey thomas. it's going to be great to have you out on the track and a part of the SMC 2012...should be alot of fun!!!

bruce explained it well! follow that and just politely mention that it's your first time, the cars got a stock motor, and you're hoping to run a 20 second pass and you should be fine! :cool:
