I am thinking about hitting up LACR this friday to see what my FC can do. Anything I need to look out for? Cops harassing people? Biased smog checks after the strip? Gang problems?

Only issue I might have with tech inspection is missing upper front windshield trim.

5pm-10pm $20 car&driver
spectators $5

Thanks!

 

ive never been there myself, but a lot of my friends go. just be carefull on the way back on the 14 by canyon country, there are quite a few cops out.

 

I've been there quite a few times Rez. When heading or coming back on the 14, please be real careful. There are a lot of CHPs, especially since it's a Friday(from my experience).

In regards to the inspection, they usually just let imports go by but then again it may depend on how fast you state your car will do. If you put that your car runs at least 13.99, then they might want you to pop your hood. From all the times I've taken my old FD there, they never looked underneath the hood. They aren't as strict on imports in contrast to the Inspector ***** at Fontanta. I haven't been there in 2 years so i'm not sure if things have changed.

If you do plan to go, get there early as possible so that you could get almost back to back runs. It's a lot fun but the track was horrible those many times I went, hard for my tires to get traction.

There shouldn't be any gang problems. A lot of spectators are fans of the sport. Honestly, I had a more enjoyable time at LACR than Fontana.

Let us know how you do.

 

i'll go if they don't give me any crap about the battery being inside.

 

At california speedway they told me I needed an external cutoff switch on the outside of the car, a polyethylene box (with vent if a non-gel battery) or metal nhra approved one, and a kill switch inside the car within my hands reach.

 

yea, they're bitches at fontana. in vegas they'll let you run with your battery zip-tied down!

 

That's exactly right....NHRA rules.

 

Unlike CA Speedway, LACR is very leanient and not strict. The best time to go is on Wednesday nights. Less traffic and less cars at the track also.

 

why go there when you can go to Stadium Way.
...................................weekends the best! less traffic and wide open.

 

Thanks Batmobile. My brother is going with me to drag his 500 RWHP Vortech supercharged GTO 6 liter. We don't know what are cars do, but they haul ***!

I'll tell the tech guy we do 14s.

 

you should run him in the fd. i'll turn the boost up so you can put the wildman down

 

i live out here, and i can tell you that the CHP presence is becoming minimal because of the fact that they are switching over to airplane enforcement. there is still CHP, but its beecoming less and less every week. this isnt for the whole freeway, but a good part of it.

 

I wonder what my neon can do.

 

Take it ou there and find out so we all can get a nice laugh!

 

you'd better take it during the day though so they can use their sun dial, i dont think the stop clock counts that high
