Anything scheduled for Friday night? Last years F-body vs Mustang was fun. My firebird fits into 3 classes. Can I run multi classes on Saturday? Is deep staging permitted in the index and bracket classes?

I'm not sure about your other questions, but deep staging is permitted in both bracket and index classes.

1) We are planning on doing the Friday night race again, but haven't confirmed it yet, which is why it's not post.

2) Yes, a few of us are planning to run brackets and index classes. but you need to make sure you can hotlap the car.

3) Deep staging is allow, we are using Autostart and NHRA deep stage rules as far as it's up to the driver to get in, The tree will not be held.

No heads up class???

[Tru2Chevy]

No heads up class???

No, not this year. We have tried it several times, and never had more than a couple of cars sign up, even when offering several hundred dollars in prize money (still small change compared to some events, I know, but it's what we have to work with).

Thanks for the info.

Friday night last year was a lot of fun. I'm hoping to do a repete this year.

Formula has an electric waterpump with a manual switch for the pump and fans. Round robin isn't a problem for the car. It's use to running double classes.

I'm use to deep staging with the current Div 1 rules. I have no problem doing the deep stage slide.

[Squirrel]

are non-fbodies allowed to run?

[edpontiac91]

I know i have brought this up before, but can you get the track to open up earlier than the 10:00 am time. IF the weather is really good you'll have to get there quite early to get in line and then hope it moves along without too much of a jam up at the pay booths. Just a thought.:|

[Squirrel]

are non-fbodies allowed to run?

any decision on this yet?

[BonzoHansen]

Only if there are test & tunes lanes, which we need Melissa to confirm. Not in our event.

[NJ Torque]

ONly bracket running no NJFBOA grudge matches?

[onebad82z]

So when I lose in bracket racing in the 1st round, can I then make TnT passes?

[BonzoHansen]

Assuming there is T&T yes. I believe there will be buybacks as well.

[onebad82z]

Just received confirmation from Island via email they will have TnT lanes open on the 23rd.

[camaroracer1992]

the prize money for racing, is that only for the winner, or is there a 1,2,3 rd payouts?

[Frosty]

I can't wait, weather is gonna be nice, should be a great time.

One question regarding the extra $10 for our show/race. Is the passenger in the car subject to the $10 or is it just $10 per car? My brother is riding up with me.

[IROCZman15]

The extra $10 is just to enter the car into a race class or the show field - doesn't matter how many people are in the car.

Passengers only have to pay spectator fee at the gate. You have to pay that and the $10 to us to be in the show.

[sweetbmxrider]

im kinda excited :D

[BonzoHansen]

You ought to be. I really think this will be the best year ever.

[AlsCamaros]

Quick question is it $10.00 for both the race and the show or $10.00 each?

[coolmanvette75]

I'm glad I bought my camaro when I did. Can't wait for my first nats. Hope to meet some of you guys there. :-)

[BonzoHansen]

Quick question is it $10.00 for both the race and the show or $10.00 each?

$10 covers race and/or show. You can enter both. Or multiple drag classes.

[HardcoreZ28]

Ok I need clarification on pricing too. How much to come through the gate and only show? Is it a $15 spectator fee plus $10 for us? Or is it $35 plus $10?

[AlsCamaros]

$10 covers race and/or show. You can enter both. Or multiple drag classes.

Thanks, see u guys tomorow

[BonzoHansen]

Same as every year:

Gate Fees: Standard Track Fees +$10 to enter our car show and/or drag races

Standard Island Dragway T&T Day Track Fees:
Racer: $35
Spectator: $15
Child (10-14): $7

So to be in our race it is $35 + $10 = $45
To be in our car show it is $15 + $10 = $25
Spectators/people in cars $15/$7/$0 depending on age.
