BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

BIR opens the track to anyone with a helmet, a valid drivers license and a street-legal car, truck or motorcycle. The gates open at 4 p.m. You can make as many runs as possible until the track closes at dusk

This is the next Wednesday night drag event at BIR and I really wanna make this date.

Anyone else wanna go up? Liter bikes?

I know Tom (blackawdtsi) wants to get to the track. He'll need to trailer out though so gives plenty of time for planning it out.

We could all meet off 169 in Princeton and caravan out.

I'm down to ride along and watch/pit for you guys.

But lets get some street time on your car before you go racing.

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

My b-day is the 31st. I hope to at least make it up there, if not participate. Would make for a good day.

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

My tuning date is on the 31st at noon. If it all goes good, I would be down to go check it out.

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

Looks like the rules state a 2000 snell rating. Anyone have a helmet to borrow or sell?

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

I have one that I need to sell.
I'll check the date, unless you have some kiggly parts or something that I need.

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

I might have to see if I can make it. I would like to get some base times and a base dyno on the bimmer.

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

Really?! Snell 2000?! Last time I was there they wanted snell 2005! That was a year ago. What gives? I have an open face one I can let go for stupid cheap, collects dust on top of the entertainment stand.

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

At least that's what th rules say on there page may I have to call and confirm.

This info was copied right from the rules under Wednesday night drag section

• All vehicles must be a street legal car, truck, or motorcycle that is currently registered for street use.
• Helmets are required for all racers. Helmets must be rated SNELL 2000 or newer.
• All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and must be 16 years old to race. Drivers who are 16 and 17 years old must have a waiver signed at the front gate by parent(s) and must be accompanied by a parent.
• Drivers cannot wear shorts, nylon wind pants or tank tops. No bare legs or bare torsos permitted while racing.
• Cars cannot be faster then 14.99 seconds in the quarter mile with a passenger. All passengers must be 16 years or older. If they’re under 18, they must have a parent consent form that’s signed at the front gate.

Do it!

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

Just so you know they don't ever give a fuck about helmet ratings on Wednesday nights. ;)

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

I got one. But I have different issues now so we'll see if I can get it fixed in time

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

Last year when I did a Wednesday at BIR night I almost didn't get to race cause helmet rating, I believe it needs to be snell 2005 or greater and mine was 2000. I think each tech guy is is a little less or more thorough then the next or something. I wouldn't make a 2 hr drive without the right lid if it were me.

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

I got a snell 2005.

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

woot!
Get tom to rent a trailer and drive your van, I'll bring the candy!

Re: BIR Wednesday night July 31rst
 

Don't get to excited still have to fix mine. Lol. Should hopefully get it done tomorrow.
