Just an additional note on why you should avoid the water if you don't have slicks: The water gets trapped in the treads, then dribbles out and tracks all the way up to the line. Bad for traction.

Can't believe I forgot this one, but I would give bonus points to those of you with driveshaft loops! Ever seen a car lose a u-joint and do a pole vault? Another memorable experience shared by Dave H...! They make some that bolt to the rear of your tranny's tailshaft, so no welding...

New for the track this year.. ...Driver must weigh over 300 pounds.....that way none of the cars will become airborn and fly......I will be available to take any cars down the track that need a legal driver.....

No charge!

Rob....a couple things....1. take off the hub caps...seems every year we are chasing someone's caps down the track...2. don't fill the tank full of fuel or make sure your cap seals...for some reason the guys at the start line don't like 110 octane fuel coming out of the tanks. Windows must be rolled up when making a pass. Last but not least.....don't run over the fat guy helping at the start line!
