Both are VERY similar in how they operate; namely:
PRICE: $20.00 for non-members. This get's you 4 runs in the heat you sign up for (providing you're there early enough to get into the heat you want (15-20 cars per heat). You'll line up and run sequentially one after another until everyone has completed 4 runs. All runs are timed and recorded. You get a slip with times after your heat is over. You are charged +1 second for every orange cone you <cough> disturb.
VEHICLE: With the mods you, Donald and Shawn have, don't be suprised to be classed with the big boys (C-Prepared; we're talking full rollcages, etc.) I'm in ESP because of my trans shift kit. They WILL do a safety inspection. You should pass as long as your battery is bolted down solid, nothing is hanging loose, etc.
SAFETY: Vehicle has a tech inspection. They WILL verify your helmet is up to snuff; SNELL 95 or M95. They have a half-dozen for (free) use if you don't have one. You must have belts (you'll definately WANT to use them to keep you posterior firmly planted in the seat).
HOW TO DO IT: You get there (early; about 9am if you want a good pick of what's going on). You'll pick one heat to DRIVE and one heat to WORK. I recommend you WORK before you DRIVE so you can see what parts of the course are the hardest to navigate, and who's running the better lines. Bring a lawn chair and a cooler (no beer unless you hide it VERY well; they take this stuff seriously). When you WORK; you just stand at one of the designated posts and replace cones that were destroyed...er...distrubed by contestants <grin>.
NOW: Those of you who CAN make it on the 15th will have a blast and ALSO get in some good practice for those who can only make the 29th <g>...
