    Just came back from the 1/8 mile track in Irwindale. Cooled the car off for an hour and ran my first and only pass of the night. The time slip guy peaked his head in my car to check for a cage, then he asked to hand over my wrist band. I was so happy even if I did pay for only one race. It...

    Irwindale. How strict?

    Has anyone gone to Irwindale and ran faster than a 7.25 and not have a roll cage? Did they kick you out? Did they just not care? Last time out, I ran a 7.28 and know that with some practice I could be in the 7.1's. I would hate to stop drag racing since I've only had the car for 6 month. I...
