Cycle Gear which has many stores throughout CA and has a store locator on their website has HJC Plain Black Helmets call the nearest store once you have chosen a few different models to see what they have in store.

The first two runs or so work on your 60ft and 1/8th mile and right before the finish line let off and coast through to a just over 13.99 pass. After you get the launch and shifting down make your last pass as fast as you can and then they will just tell you next time that you need a helmet but it will be your last pass anyway.

This is not ideal but one of my buddies who has a supercharged 1989 Saleen that makes about 700hp has to do this because this track has a no faster than 9.99 quarter mile allowed and he waits to break that time until the last pass.

I don't know if i'm willing to wake up at 4:30 in the morning on a saturday to go to a drag strip 70 miles away to cost down the finish line....doesn't work. Oh well, next time. Thanks for your suggestion tho.

Has anyone ran here. I'm curious to know what the 370Zs run here. I would love to go but got a gig to do the whole day.

RedlineZ · 04-29-2010, 01:33 PM

I was planning on going, but I'll be running up at Streets of Willow on Sunday and didn't want to stress the car out too much. I guess a couple of passes won't hurt though... I can't stay beyond 2 or 3 p.m. anyway. Or maybe I'll just bring the "work" Mazda 3.

Come on down I'm sure a few passes in 70 degree weather won't stress the car at all.

Post here if you are going to go so some of us meet you at the Carls Jr. in Fontana.

You will even be able to use it for some autox events but you would have to check with the director at the event. Glad to hear you did not have to spend to much.

See ya at Carls Jr.

tru_Asiatik · 04-29-2010, 10:52 PM

is 545 late?? ive been reading on other car forums thatgate gets packed even b4 6am....is this true?

Tresfr · 04-29-2010, 11:13 PM

I am not a drag racer but I have been to the Cali Street Legals 3 times in the last 2 years or so. My experience is if you get to the gate at 6:00 you will get in before they reach their maximum. One time I arrived at 6:50 and they were full.

When we posted the schedule it stated to be at Carl's between 5:30 and 5:45. This means we roll in group up and roll out within 5-10 minutes. We will be leaving Carl's at 5:45 not meeting up at 5:45 hanging out and comparing rides. We will have all day to do that. If we keep to this plan I am confident that we will be good to go.

If someone thinks or knows otherwise please chime in but this has been my experience.

Agreed on the temps, but I meant stress on the tranny and clutch, since I will be pulling uphill on Streets (we're running clockwise on Sunday) for a few 20 minute sessions. Maybe I'll just take it easy and make 2-3 passes then.

If I can make it look for me at Carls Jr. a little after 5:30. I have the graphite car that's a little lowered with a Berk exhaust, otherwise stock, hopefully not too hard to miss.
