its like their midnight maddness just during the day due to it gets to cold in march at night. so its midday untill april i think.. midday maddness is like bracket racing. you get your practice rounds.. then eliminations untill you get down to a winner. you win by runing closest to your dial in time with out going over. that way there is competion between all racers fast and slow.. i saw a dodge dakoda truck win running a 20. its pretty fun up there. its a nice track also.

yea any one can and any vehichal can.. ive run aginst a minivan that was stock, up to a 10 sec nova once. any one is welcome . as long as you pass tech but its pretty lax usually you wont be messed with unless your car is a udder piece of crap..ive never been checked. if your obvously spreying nitrous and or have a 10-12 sec car they will check you out in tech. your battery must be secured properly with the hold down, or some other means of holding down. i think they have a set of rules on theyr sight. i hvent been inspected yet. you will also a helmet if you run faster than a 13.99. whice are free rental at the gas stand. i dont think you need licens. im not to sure. i think you must make them aware of it though.

If I can get the car registered by then I am up for it. hopefully I will break into the mid/high 13s becasue last time I was there it was my first time at the track and I've since bumped up the fuel pressure to 46 PSI.

Well in that case I should be there then.
Yep I sold the TT2s and put my 17" Roh Rts on there. I am not sure what I am going to do with them though. I wanted to get them in 18x10 in the rear but the RTs are pretty heavy and they only make the 17s up to 9 wide. The one thing I liked about the tt2s is that they had 285s on them.

Yeah, they look verry sweet having big ol rubbers out back. There were no spcacers and I don't know what BS it was becasue the tt2s came with the car. The only rubing issue I had was if it bottomed out, the back right tire would rub the outer fender lip and put lines around the edge of the tire. I got an adjustable panhard bar so I think if it hapens again I can adjust it a little to fix it. Oh and the fronts were 255/40s

Anyone see or know who has the black 91/92 Z28 with 4th gen exhaust tips and gold(I think) GTA wheels? I saw it the other morning around 8 as I was driving by walmart/checkers in california. It is a nice looking ride.

man I bet is is a pita when the roads get rough having a tire that big of a tire up front. Especially when coming to a stoplight where a lane is more like 2 valies than flat pavement.

You really need to get a cardomain site or something, I would really like to see some more pics of your IROC.

do you guys think 305's are able to be stuffed on the rear? with the 285s on the rear your using 4th gen rims. so you have the 4th gen rear or just the 2'' spacers?
