PladdPezzPunk Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 you can run the bike but you'll need to be in the BIKE lane. Bring the tire down to my shop, i'll M&B it today for ya. there should be plenty of shops willing to do it for today. it's only a 10 minute job.

PladdPezzPunk Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 OK guys, i just checked the weather and it looks like it will be a beautiful day tommorow. Just so everyone know what to do when they get there, IF you are running, go through tech inspection at the other end of the dirt track. Make sure and tell them you are with the SS trucks so they mark you differently (hopefully they'll catch on). Find other SS's in the pits. (i don't know where i'll be as they will be busy) be sure and check tonight and make sure ALL you lug nuts are installed, your battery is tied down, and you aren't leaking any fluids. This is pretty much all they check they should do more but they don't. If you aren't running, just drive in the front gate and find us in the pits. If anyone is lost or has immidiate troubles, call me and i'll help you out. Thanks matt 413-221-2393 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll lead the parade to the Tech Inspection on the West side of the track, from the meeting spot. But we can figure this out Tomorrow at the meeting spot too .... See you then.

Thanks matt 413-221-2393 Matt, I assume they enforce the snell helmet ratings as well as a fire jacket for the (aftermarket) supercharged / nitrous guys? Do they rent helmets there? Do they require loops for anyone running Slicks or DR's? Can I tech in with my "show" wheels and then drop the DR's on or will they frown on that practice? Will they allow a laptop resting on the front passenger seat during a run? Basically,...how strict are they? NHRA rule book on helmets: 10:7 HELMETS As outlined under Class Requirements, drivers in all classes must wear a helmet meeting Snell or SFI Specifications. Snell K98 is acceptable in place of any Snell M-rated helmet. SFI Spec 31.1A = Snell SA, open-face helmet SFI Spec 31.2A = Snell SA, full-face helmet SFI Spec 41.1A = Snell M, open-face helmet SFI Spec 41.2A = Snell M, full-face helmet Drivers of all cars running 13.99 or quicker must use a helmet meeting Snell K98, 2000, 2005 or SFI Spec 31.1A, 31.2A, 31.1/2005, 41.1A, 41.2A, or 41.1/2005. Drivers of cars running 7.49 or quicker must use a helmet meeting Snell SA2000, SA2005 or SFI 31.1A, 31.2A, or 31.1/2005 Specs. See Class Requirements.NHRA Helmet Expiration Dates 98 SECTION 11 - GENERAL REGULATIONS GENERAL REGULATIONS Label Expires Snell 90 Expired Snell 95 Expired Snell K98 1/1/2009 Snell 2000 1/1/2012 Snell 2005 1/1/2017 SFI 31.1 Expired SFI 31.2 Expired Label Expires SFI 41.1 Expired SFI 41.2 Expired SFI 31.1A 1/1/2014 SFI 31.2A 1/1/2014 SFI 41.1A 1/1/2014 SFI 41.2A 1/1/2014 SFI 31.1/2005 1/1/2017 SFI 41.1/2005 1/1/2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agreif Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Two questions, Creed (or anyone else coming from north of Albany), do you think it's faster to take 90 past rt 20/9 to get to New Lebanon an then cut north on 22 near the border, or just take the 20/9 exit (11E) and go along on that one? 2nd, they have "crew parking" right? Where you go through the entry gate where they load the racers and park closer to the pits right, not right behind the grandstands? I can bring my large snell approved helmet if anyone needs one (does have some scratches on it where it was dragged on the ground, not sure if that matters to safety techs).

My tires should be on by 5 pm tonight, The way I come down from the north is get on 90 from 787 and get off exit 11 e ST-20, That has always been the best way for me, There's plenty of room to pass if you get stuck behind some farm tractor. I have my bike in my truck, I have a XL Shoe if anyone needs a helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
