Question:

I don't want to sound retarded, but are the techs checking for everything? Roll cages in 10 sec cars, etc? Just wondering if the rules will be the same as normal events.

Don't know how strict Tech will be, but my understanding is that this is a private track rental. Phil Green may have more info. HTH.

I've ran at PH quite a few times, never had a "real" tech to speak of, the locals say pretty much anything goes. Have seen numerous 8 sec passes there, so the track is capable of handling some fast times if prepped. Index classes sounds cool also. I'll be planning to go.

Guys it will be at your own risk. I will say... think about your safety and your friends safety.

 

[fast86gn]

As Phil said your at your own risk. There will only be tech to decide your class. So no bar, no problem.
