Like I said, I can understand their interest of safety, but ideally with my car where it is, I would rather get to a track that doesn't inspect everything. I know its not as safe, but its what I am looking for. Obviously it is still legal otherwise they wouldn't be open.

Actually, the NHRA passed a rule that if you install a supercharger, turbo, or run spray that you need a fire proof jacket. The track was just following policy, same with your helmet.

Whatever it is, I am looking for a track like that, which doesn't follow the policy as close. Again, I know its not as safe, but its what I am looking for.

I'd say just go to atco and get the launch nailed down and shut down after the 1/8. On the last pass or two go all out.

just remember, at a track like that, it means they're just as lenient with the guy in the lane next to you. who knows what the hell could be wrong with his car.

lol, yeah I know. I am used to running at those kind of tracks anyway, and I don't have a problem with them whatsoever.
Thanks for throwing up the safety stuff though. Others need to make their own decision on where they want to run, knowing the risks. I made my own choice knowing and accepting the risks. But it is good for others to know all the info on the safety stuff, so they can weigh out the risks for themselves.

I was just as surprised. Its a race track, you figure it is supposed to get loud there. I guess the neighbors want to keep it quiet though

The neighbors there bitch. A lot. There is a dB restriction and most of the time it's muffled vehicles only.

Thats another reason I disliked E-town so much. My car IS muffled, and they still said I might be too loud

If you want to run at E-Town and run unmuffled or a cut out, call em up and see if you can get a few time shots in on one of the Ultra Quick 8 race days they have on Sundays. Just an idea.

I always prefer going to E-town. The tech guys are always really nice to me, and the staff in the lanes are also very helpful. I will tell you, they DO NOT play with the noise levels.
I won't go to Atco unless its for a rental day. Everytime I drive all the way down there for regular night some POS blows up and I never get more than 2 passes.
Island probably looked at the car closer than the others, but the staff there was also really really nice. Its just not the nicest facility of the 3.

I guess its a matter of opinion. If you've read this thread in full, then you know why I was so upset (for those that don't know they harrassed me about many things including my MUFFLED car being too loud, and the fact I got there when they opened and stayed until they closed and only got 2 runs in from everyone blowing up).
I will NEVER go to E-town again. It's Atco for me from here on out! I love the track at Atco. I would have gone to Atco on the night I went to E-town but they were closed for an NHRA event.

They told me that it had to be at least a two chambered muffler (which loudmouth is not). I am running Borla (with the medium plate), which IS two chambered. You can now understand some of my frustration when I had what they said the requirement was, and they then told me I might get kicked out anyways.

Eh I know what the rules are so I go prepared, and yes my car has been tossed for noise before, but I knew that I was taking a chance.
