anyone know how tech is at etown? Just got the chassis certified and dont know if I'll have time to make licensing passes before Spring Nationals next weekend - will they give me any trouble for running mid to low 9's if all the safety equipment is there and the chassis is certified?

 

From what I remember Etown is more strict than Atco.

 

Haha, They will now, there main tech guy is on this forum. Might as well post a pic of the car while your at it.

 

Try to get your license Wednesday or Friday night

 

if you can get your passes in, division 1 office is pretty fast at turning around the lic. they will atleast get you a temp lic.

 

Plenty of time between now and spring nationals to coordinate your passes. Call the office and get the process started.

Not trying to thread jack, but is a catch pan necessary for etown? And are they really strick on the scatter shield? These are the only things im missing as far a safety goes besides the license of course.

 

it is an NHRA member track so we do follow all of their guidelines. please plan accordingly to have your car/credentials up to your required standards (meaning class rules and safety equipment). a catch pan is recommended but not required.

Might have your Mama called a bad name if you break the rules at E-town

tech, question..

i have a 4 door civic with back seats separating the trunk from cabin. i have an optima battery located in the trunk in a nhra metal box completely sealed. am i good to go?

 

good question, i believe you have to have a shut off on the trunk. not to sure though....

stratton.

 

The box needs to be vented to the exterior of the vehicle. Also, you need a shut off that kills all power and shuts the engine down. I belive you can even pull the seats out, depending on the class you are running.

 

if its a sealed battery like a optima battery etc, does it still need to be vented ?

stratton.

 

The way I took it was regardless of the battery, the box was to be vented to the exterior. Meaning the box was regulated not the battery.

 

ya this is stuff i want to find out since etown is my local track. car is a daily driver so dont want to do stuff that i dont have to. only reason its in trunck is cuz turbo IC pipes wouldnt fit with it in the bay
