Default E-town Oct 1 - 2 NHRA questions..

Hey wuts up guys

Im really thinking about heading down for this race ive never been to a pro event in the states .. been to many races up here.. but its not the same .. not nearly as fast

Im just wondering if its worth the 8 hour drive hotel and everything.
Id love to race my car there but if i broke down it would be one expensive ride home
What are ticket prices usually for the events

THanx for the info

It is well worth the $$$. Is usually one of the best races of the year. $65 to race for the weekend. $40 ish for spectator for the weekend.

dude, it was well worth the 2400 miles round trip for me. i'm planning on going again, on october if i get my friends to help me with the drive. just make sure you have a game plan, get everything ready and bring your butt to the track. you won't regret it

if you don't find anything to do in NJ(i think you'll find plenty to do), you can just drive 30 minutes into NYC and have a blast!

i was having some serious bogging problems, thought it was the BIG slicks that I had on earlier in the day. so i changed to the slicks on the hammerheads.

I was running slicks all day except for the king of the street event.

no i don;t think so, they don;t have a class , for me nopi would be easier, just take off my exhuast and run , but nhra's class you have to run bfg's, and have to be 2350lbs, i duno if i want to bother adding the weight and a few other things

just do it, it's not that hard to put on the weight. i had to do the same to my crx, i added a little over 200lbs! nopi comp4 is a nice class, but i bet you that street stock in nj will be a bigger field and a tougher field to run in
