That's what I'm talking about. Are you goin Gabe? This should be the sickest show of the year....

**sportlinecrx** · 10-10-2003, 11:04 PM

yea...i'll be there on one of those days. if my car is running good, i might race on saturday.

2 litre EG · 10-12-2003, 06:00 PM

looks like i might have to change plans and NOT go to bakersfield and switch off to fontana

although i am quite skeptical due to the fact the last time i was there i got denied cause i had no exhaust... fuck faces!!!

but i emailed the guys at NOPI and they'll be getting back to me regarding the exhaust issue and i'll let you guys know if im goin

**sportlinecrx** · 10-14-2003, 05:49 AM

sounds good Jason! maybe i'll see u there. looks like i am definitely gonna run my rex saturday.

everyone check out the new detailed info & schedules i added to the first post!

2 litre EG · 10-14-2003, 12:12 PM

no one can answer this for me... i've emailed nopitec@attbi.net, michael@nopi.com, glennw@nopi.com, kristy@nopi.com... practically everyone and no one can answer me as to if i will be required to run a full exhaust...

hey gabe maybe you might have luck getting a hold of them cause i sure as hell haven't

grrr and im sick right now!!!

**sportlinecrx** · 10-14-2003, 02:24 PM

Doesnt look good, Jason. Here is the copied text from the rules page at the Speedway:

Exhaust: Must be routed through street legal muffler(s). All runs will be monitored on a decibel meter (100db at 100’ from the strip). If it is too loud you will not be allowed to run. NO EXCEPTIONS! It is your responsibility.

well the thing is i thought since it is a full event of real import dragsters they might let that rule go...

i dunno, i might not be going then, looks like i'll be heading to bakersfield..

**sportlinecrx** · 10-14-2003, 04:29 PM

hmmm. i'll see if i can find anything out.

dvs_prelude · 10-15-2003, 11:11 AM

I don't think those rules apply to this event... I doubt Erick is gonna run a full exhaust

2 litre EG · 10-16-2003, 03:49 PM
