i just wanted to put it out here because im going to go and some friends plus its a 1/4 mile . its my second time in my ek hatch with k20a .

 

I would go but they dont let us use slicks anymore! Good luck

 

imma try to make it out. k20z1 eg

 

what do you mean they don't let you use slicks?

 

x2. Im going for testing.

 

no slicks. dot legal radials only, and fully functional muffler

 

Fixed your motor?

 

wow, thats oxymoron. Looks like it's az tracks for me. bummer

 

not to hate on any cars in particular... but I never understood how in street legals you have so many trailered cars pulling in... defeats the purpose of "street legal".

anyhow...
<< in for march 7th. eg(B20V)

 

I make to much power to drive my car to the track. If something breaks I'm not going to ba able to drive my car home but at least when I go I will pull some 9 second passes unlike some of those domestic cars on the trailers pulling 12-13's

...and if you are from the Fontana area, those cops are anti Import.

 

I fixed it...but I'm pretty much done with racing it.
Hows your car going?

 

Majority of die hard racers out there arent racing their showroom stock cars and taking it to the track. Most are dedicated track cars which can be in "street legal" classes.
And on top of that, there's really no place to take any race car to race in So Cal.
You have Irwindale(noise restrictions and only 1/8 mile) and Fontana(now no slicks allowed?). Those are the only choices. So what happens to the race cars? This is limiting the places to race.

 

Refreshing the motor after two seasons.

 

well said... by both parties... what is with the "no slicks "rule...what made it come about?

also, agreed as to the comment by exospeed with the amount of places to race is limited.... sux. feel free to reply.

 

Is Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield open every friday night or some kind of regular days out of the week like LACR used to be?

 

Not every friday. Its once a month or so until it gets warmer and I think they have every other week and possibly more. Just check the schedule.

Sucks that its a good 1 1/2 hr away at least for most people.

 

ahhh...famoso... nice track... but yes, right smack in the middle of tree orchards....

 

I went there a few months back with my k20a ek and i ran open header i just think you have to have it on during their visual inspection . About the slicks i didnt know about that .and that really sucks well im still going i got bfg-force drag radials. take the exhaust off after the inspection

 

Even though the rules are not up to date. They still say slicks are allowed. Where did you guys hear that its not allowed? I called and emailed Fontana but still have not got a response back.

 

Heres a link for info.http://www.nhra.com/streetlegal/slstyle.aspx

 

Want to hear the answer from the track staff.....

 

I havent seen these rules before but did they say slicks on there before and was taken off? I dont know, it doesnt say they are banned. And does this mean that slicks are not used at any NHRA street legals anywhere?

 

Just checked the schedule. Seems like they have Test and Tunes twice per month and they are open for both Sat and Sun. I will be going to some of these because last year due to changes I kept making to the car and no testing I had issues at just about every event.

 

what I dont know is if they'll enforce the rules, you can always bring some slicks with you and some drag radials.. light up the slicks and see if they call you on it.

BTW, you cannot run faster than 10's in street legals or they send you home.

 

slicks or no slicks i'm driving there, putting down some good times then driving home.STREET LEGAL
