Sorry I've been a bit busy.
We didn't get the truck set up completely before we went. We left with no parachute or window clips, so we knew we would be limited to a max of 175.
We arrived on Sunday and got into line for tech. There is a "New Car" line you must get into, which they go over your truck with a fine tooth comb. They told us our window net was not adequate for LSR. So we came to an agreement that I would try to improve it, resubmit for inspection, then if it looked kinda OK, we would be allowed to run up to 150mph. Before you roll your eyes at 150mph, this is done in 2wd on a slippery surface at 6500' DA.
So we got a McGyver net together, and got approved for 150. Once you arrive with your race car/truck/bike, you must tow your vehicle everywhere, you are not allowed to drive anywhere but on the racetrack. There were 3 courses, a "long course" which is 5 miles, and 2 short courses which are 3 miles. First thing you do is a driver's meeting and rookie orientation, and you get to drive down the racecourse in the tow vehicle.
