In Div 3 they usually tech Thursday afternoon and all day Friday but Fri seems to be rather busy. When you go to the NHRA trailer you will get a schedule and all the decals you have to run. Getting there Thursday you can get all that out of the way and test and tune (usually about $100.) Or just go visiting with your cooler on the back of the golf cart! Myself I usually do the latter.........And there's always the people parked next to you that will always help ya out. Good luck......

We love it when you Yankee's come down for the races, gives us someone else to beat up on..lol...

Some of the nicest people I have met, I met at either a divisional race or a national event. Although I have met some good people bracket racing, there just seems to be something about the people who have stepped up to the next level.

Love the folks at the divisional and national event races....Like Bailey said, there are some really good people at the bracket events, but you don't have the riff raff at the "biggs"

As far as schedules, many times S/C is the first class to get moved when the track is running behind! Welcome aboard!

, Welcome to D3, tons of great folks. Although, You will not beleive how hard it is to win a round in S/C. Go to NHRA and read the stats as they talk about the huge accomplishment of Shawn Langdon's repeat championship. I have been a huge race fan my whole life. Started racing at 17 lasted until I got married (First Time/Last Mistake) 20 years later divorced and dabled my way back in. Brackets, S/ST, S/G and then S/C. BFD means, Big Fat Difference. No matter how hard I tried to creap back in each class got tougher and tougher. So of coarse this winter I bought a Top Dragster that I want to start running some time this year. Not sure if I am a dumb ***, glutant for punnishment or both. My point is, dont get discuraged to quickly, or be to hard on yourself. If you have early success, dont get cocky, its rough out there! Just cut an .00? light, go 8.9? and watch the stipe at 160ish. Its so easy a cave man can do it! Best of Luck (You'll need that) be safe. Jeff
