Just so you know, Irwindale is only an 1/8 mile track.

That's the only thing that sucks, it seems like your barely getting on it when you have to let off, but I love the way it hooks. :hail:

Demonchild, I'm not sure if it was you, the one that posted that you were only sixteen, if it was make sure you take a letter with your parents consent and even then they might give you a hard time.

Long pants.
Shoes.
No leaking fluids.

Many places check for coolant overflow tank and battery hold down. Functioning seatbelts. Those are the main items. Other than that, learn where the staging line is, how to stage, and when to go. Staging is where most people screw up.

Who cares what you run. Just have fun.
