Yeh, its a decent day. We took our old Evo2 GSR up the strip. Only ran it once, just to say i'd done it basically. Certainly gets the heart rate up.
Not sure how strict they are, but the rules state if your car can cross the line at 100mph+ then you will need a helmet. I would expect your car to get over that, so might be worth taking one, just incase they ask.
Other than that, just drive it as hard and fast as possible!
Have fun

Hope the weather holds out for u, they can be funny if its a bit slippy/wet and you dont get many runs in this time of year,
Its a good crack though, few videos on youtube if u do a quick search for speedfreaksuk72.

I went with a couple of pals last week. I think its 110 mph over the line. Most importantly bring your drivers license, or you won't be able to 'sign-on'. Trust me, it is addictive, you'll tell yourself just a few runs! But, you find yourself queing for another few. My times were all around 13 seconds, and I was around 100mph over the line. Unless your running big bhp/torque I wouldn't worry about a helmet. I have been told that you can borrow/hire helmets anyhow. My best advice is to relax and have fun.
