Tahseen - the very first words for Saturday are "Regular racing" (in contrast to Thursday "Test and tune open to all"). One would then deduce from the listing of times/classes that it's also a points day (with points meaning competitive). I believe this is what Jay was trying to get you to infer.

I guess.. but I really dont know if regular street cars are allowed in this. I dont know what classes run when, except for test tune I see every one there. Never been in a competitive race.. So it still does not answer my question.. Can I go out on saturday 3pm or not.! LOL

Tahseen, yes you can go out on Saturday to race. You would be in the Street Class. You will get 2 time trials before the races begin. Once the racing begins, in each class, if you lose your heat (run down the track) then you are out of competition. Not sure if they will be doing buy-backs or not (if you lose you pay money to get another run down the track). Racing day is not like a test & tune day - you do not get unlimited runs down the track - it is competition for all. If you have any questions, give Jim a call.
Hope this helps explain "race day" to you. Mary |

I was thinking about going to that on Saturday, but at this point either I need to ride shotgun or hope my foots better enough to drive, cause right now driving a clutch is painful and a real pain to handle.

What MEC's said.... basically you get to run as much as possible at Test and Tune whereas for points you can get eliminated right away. If you show up at 3:00 then you wouldn't even have an opportunity to dial in, so in theory, you might only get one run if you lost.
With that said, since you've got an auto and I'm presuming by now that you've figured out how consistent the car is, you might do surprisingly well. "Back in the day" (I'm talking like 10 years ago) one of my friends from back home took his '97 Dodge Avenger that ran 17's (it may have been even slower) to Beaver Springs -- and won that night. It was a very slow car, but was dead-on consistent. The only issue with just showing up sporadically to do that is sometimes the regulars get a bit annoyed because they're there every week to earn points compared to someone just showing up, cleaning up, and never coming back.
