Sign it up! $2500 isn't bad, and it includes Thursday days. Request that day ASAP!

That's ALOT cheaper than last year, by half!

Good work, Ken! :biggthumpup:

Good work, Ken! :biggthumpup:

no doubt it's like $2800 for a day at KCIR and that doesn't include track cleanup and oil downs..

[bad360rt]

Sounds great, even if we go over 40 trucks (which hopefully we will), it'll still end up being one of our cheaper rentals. Thanks Ken! Definitely make sure we get our request in. :biggthumpup:

[slvr03dakrt]

are we still going to have an autocross event at this years meet or has that been erased.

[BTLFED R/T]

That is being worked on as well. :biggthumpup:

[Trueblue R/T]

Hmmm That is only 3hrs of track time,,might have to take two consective (same day) rentals or get run off at noon LOL.. You know if this thing did pull 100 trucks again that would be 3600 bucks more per session.. Oh well guys bite the bullett I'm planning on being there..

That's only for Saturdays. We'll most likely be dragracing Thursday, which is 9am-5pm... Or Friday which is 9am-3pm. The Dream Cruise is Saturday. ;)

[Typer00_0371]

the way it reads to me is that's just for the "night sessions"

day time would be 9-3 on Friday and that's 6 hours:biggthumpup:

we still want to make sure we get more than just 3 hours of track time. we want to schedule the track from 9am-3pm on that Thursday.

i hope we don't get charged for a double session. 3 hours just isn't enough time.

the way to look at price is that basically you're paying 60 bucks per vehicle. it breaks down to a lil over 62/vehicle before 40 then 60/vehicle after 40. i mean you figure at most TnT at local tracks you pay 20 to race anyway, so i don't think it's that bad of a price.

[BTLFED R/T]

i want to be sure on that.

It sounds like they're just all fucked up. Is it 9-5, 9-3, or just 3 hours of track time? LOL

Sorry Barry, I didn't see that part.

[Trueblue R/T]

Not a problem buddy and I do want you to know this old man appriciates what you guy are doing..

[slvr03dakrt]

my interprertation of that is that you recieve 3 hrs of track time within those set hours.

[bad360rt]

Yeah, we definitely need to clarify that, cause I'm not seeing how we only get 3 hours of track time with a 9-5 rental.

[BTLFED R/T]

Not a problem buddy and I do want you to know this old man appriciates what you guy are doing..

Thanks Barry! But you don't need to commend just the execs/reps, without supporting members of the DRTC, none of this is possible! :biggthumpup:

[BTLFED R/T]

Unless they're a union track! They take alot of breaks! :jester:

[uwntsumrtII]

my interprertation of that is that you recieve 3 hrs of track time within those set hours.

that's they way i understand it as well.

[slvr03dakrt]

i wonder if we can get 2 more hrs for a discount price since we will already be there.

[Axiom]

Does anyone know how strict Milan is? I'll probably be running 12's by the time the meet comes. Would I need all the extra safety crap or will they let me get away with it?

You need a driveshaft loop if you're running slicks, and a helmet. And depending on where your bottle is mounted, a blow down tube if it's in the cab.

[uwntsumrtII]

you'll need a SFI aproved fire jacket for using nitrous and an SFI aproved helmet. a drive shaft loop will be needed as well. other than that, you should be fine.

have you relocated the battery?

Oh yeah, forgot about the jacket.

[uwntsumrtII]

hey Ken, if they call you tell them we have a check in hand and are ready to pay the deposit. i have the check here with me.

[Axiom]

Thanks guys.

What do you need special if you relocate the battery? As i am moving mine this spring to the bed.

[Trueblue R/T]

kill switch

[uwntsumrtII]

a kill switch on the back of the truck that is clearly marked OFF. if you use a box it must be vented to the outside. the rules also state that the box/battery must be bolted to the frame. i've got mine bolted to the bed and haven't had any problems in tech. needs a minimun of 3/8" shanks holding it down.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (and there's a good chance I could be LOL), but I seem to recall the rule changing, or maybe folks were just talking about that it might change, to where it has to be a push/pull switch now, that you can't use the flip switches anymore. And push has to be Off. Again, my rulebook is sitting at home, so can someone confirm that?

[Rtspeeddemon]

Ah yes thanks.

That is correct Dave push off..use the same switch just mount it under the truck with a rod to work the lever.. here is a nhra link..

"The switch must be located on the rear of the vehicle, with the "off" position clearly marked. If the switch is of a "push / pull" type, then "push" must be the motion that shuts off the switch, and plastic or "keyed" typed switches are prohibited."


it doesnt say that the switch HAS to be push/pull.. it says IF it is, then in must be off. For the rest of us- a paddle switch with "off" marked.. looks like we're still fine.

Like I said, I could be wrong :) I thought I saw it on Moparts somewhere, can't find it now.

that's refering to the switches that you can pull the lever out just like an actual key. those are not legit.

[Pete102580]

i should have quoted that too... plastic or keyed switches are a no-no.

ive got the standard moroso metal thingamabob.

yeah, that's the same one i have. i just unplug the connector on the back of the Alt just before i head up to tech. so when they test it, it actualy kills it, LOL!!! then i plug it back in when i get back to the pits. i plan to have it done right sooner or later.

[Pete102580]

ive got everything i need to relocate my battery... cable, switch, roll pan came in today... i fudged up and got a battery tray that bolts to the frame and the battery to the tray, like an L shape--- maybe i can get creative and follow the rules for mounting- or just hope they dont crawl under and look...

ive got the pics of your connections somewhere.... im no electrical genius - but im pretty sure i can figure it out. what needs to be done differently to have the switch work like its supposed to without having to unplug the alternator? cause- i was just planning on hooking it up like stock, extending the + cable all the way out back and - to the frame. of course hooking the switch up to +. no juice means no run.... right? or can the truck run off the alternator if you disconnect the battery? i really shouldnt think about things that confuse me while drinkin...............
pete

[uwntsumrtII]

the truck will run off the Alt. they do make the proper swith for this.

[uwntsumrtII]

i don't remember the amp rating we need. but i'd probly bet the Falming River one since it's water proof and a push/pull type.

[Pete102580]

the one i bought was for use with an alternator.. when i was shopping that was the only diff between two.. one said for use with alternator equipped vehicles, and the other one didnt say..
