7am! haha
Guess I'm not going to be racing that day.
I'll probably end up leaving at 7am.

For those in the Ventura Co.,
What time will you be leaving and will you be hooking up with anyone anywhere for the trip down?

well, I'm out...I called the track and the car has to be registered in CA...no exeptions.

Guess I will be going to carlsbad on the 15th
(at least I will be running slicks on that slippery track!)

I'm glad I decided to post that info. That would have sucked for you to drive all that way for nothin. Couldn't you use some "Cali" plates????? As I doubt they're going to have a DMV computer there. Maybe someone with some plates off a car they're not bringing that day??? Or not racing that day???? Just a thought

Sorry for being the bearer of bad news

From what they said on the phone, they want plates and registration.

I "could" borrow plates from a friend and I "could" counterfeit a registration with my computer (heheh, did it on my old beater a few years ago and worked like a charm) but I think I will just play it safe.
There are a few rules I dont comply with anyway (racing harness, battery bolts, and nitrous bottle not vented outside with a blowdown tube. Oh, and I am getting slicks too...

Take lots of pics and good luck to everyone.
