    They are a NHRA/IHRA sanctioned track.

    If you have a cage they will be lenient on the times but with no cage at all I think you would be pushing it just a bit.

    well if they're as bad as commerce then i guess none of us will be able to run. they wouldnt even let clark do one run this year at tunerfest after he switched tires.

    they jumped all over turbodave and he let out every run to a 11.7 too!! just sucks

    Carolina is no where near as bad as Commerce even when it is a big event. This being a private track rental they are ok but not on verts. We had several hard top cars that didn't have cages that let out early and they never said anything.

    However if you have a vert with no cage it is kinda like waving a red flag around.

    Carolina staff is awesome and I would never compare them to Commerce. Commerce always seems to be so grumpy on any issue. My wife ran a 10.62 on her warm up pass after being through tech and the ticket guy was rude as hell yelling to her that she had to go back to tech in before she could make another pass or to park it. We have never liked the way Commerce is ran but there are a few guy's in tech that are really cool and we have known for several years but Carolina kicks azz.

    No call outs yet? I know several of you were there last year and hoping some of you are coming this year.

    Last year we had a really good range of cars. Some 10 second all the way to a few in the 16's so there is a spot for just about everyone and you won't find a better track.

    If any of you guy's go up on a Friday night shoot me a PM and we will hook up. We stay at the same place every year and all have dinner/breakfast together before heading to the track.

    Where is 1civic1 and the call outs?

    so i guess my question would be for 9's and 10's you need a 4,6, or 8 point? just welded, certified or what? i know i'll have a bolt in 4 point in the poopra but i know it wont cut it at a NHRA track for 9's or 10's. but i might bring the rustang.

    They do not have an official tech in on private rental days. If you have a cage they usually don't bother with ya. I have a 4pt in my vert and I have made many passes there in the high 10's and that was on nights with tech. I never took it up there for any of the private events.
