Hey Mark, since I've got the Talon back together now I may be going to the Midnight Mayem on the 31st as well. Really depends on the weather.
Cordova has always seemed to be relaxed in their tech screening. Not to take away from their expertise, I just think they have a few key factors they look for and are otherwise, unconcerned. It's been 3-4 years since I've been to a MM event, so I don't know about track prep. I heard the last MM had little or no track prep. Normally there is plenty. AS far as the rules...heres what's on their site (Beyond these generalities they follow standard NHRA rules): Midnight Mayhem Street Legal, DOT Tires & Mufflers (Cars Only) Grudge Racing, Class Racing & Instant Green Starts, Flag Girl Contest Gates Open - 10:00pm Racing - 11:00pm - 4:00am General Rules: GR-1. NHRA rules are the basic and minimum standard for safety and competition. CDP track and class rules compliment these, and in some cases, supersede. See the current NHRA rulebook and direct any questions to a track official. We strive to promote fair competition & the enjoyment of Drag Racing. GR-2. No fighting, vandalism, filthy language or theft. Any action or behavior deemed detrimental by CDP towards CDP will result in disciplinary action and/or suspension. GR-3. No selling or soliciting on the grounds without permission of management. GR-4. Dispose of litter in designated barrels. Waste oil should be put in totes provided for this purpose. Trash bags are available at the ET Booth. Please help keep the grounds clean. GR-5. Keep water faucet areas clean for everyone’s use. No car washing please! Turn off water faucets when not in use. Please make sure your car is dry before returning to the racing surface. GR-6. Curfew will start 30 minutes after the conclusion of racing. There will be no loud noise such as engines or parties and all motorized pit traffic shall cease. GR-7. Pit Parking - CDP has a number of reserved pit parking spaces. All asphalt spaces are reserved. On Friday nights anyone may use those spaces is the renter is not using it and there is not a cone in the space. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

I would go to the Friday Fun Night earlier that day if you can make it. The track prep is a lot better than the midnight mayhem events.
How fast is the Galant? As far as Tech, it's usally based on how fast the car is/looks. The faster the car, the more they check. Make sure you have the basics, helmet, overflow (gatoraide bottle passes), battery tie down etc. I usally just get a Tech Card at the beginning of the year and you don't have to tech the rest of the year. Saves a ton of time waiting in line...and it's free. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Haha... Mark it's going to be nearly impossible to pass off the Galant as slow, being that you are from AMS.
 I can understand not wanting to say anything until you've run it to feel it out and work out the bugs (if that's the case). I would bet you've got a dyno sheet or two laying around for it though.

Oh I know believe me =) I am not trying to pass it off as slow at all..
Ive made 580 AWHP through the auto which is damn good considering it soaks up a lot more HP then the 5 speed. It's a full weight car w/ a/c still.. So it's pretty heavy.. |
