BIR Wednesday night drags

Open dumps are fine. I've seen plenty of them before. Probably need more than an open downpipe though. From my experience, tech is super lax on Wed nights. Basically if your battery is tied down (or in a good box for guys with relocations) and there is no shit thats going to fall off the car going down the track you are good. Oh, and a cage if you are fast enough to need one. Even helmet requirements are pretty loose. I ran multiple times with my snowmobile helmet. Every time went about like this- Tech Guy: "Got a helmet?" Me: "Yep" Tech Guy: "OK, you're good to go".

Ok that was how it was in 2005 or 2006, last time I made one of these events.

Snell 2000 helmets are not NHRA legal anymore, but if the tech person does not look at the tag then shame on them.
