Grumpy, I'm thinking your making a little more out of this than it is. Your thinking/reading like your going to run at a national event, I think. You want to go to a local track,make some runs,tune it,see what it runs & have fun, correct? Just go when the track is open, you will have to pass tech (some tracks are very basic, others play by the rules a little more) & then you can run it. I would just go & ask the track people when you get there, most likely they run test-n-tune,a street class or two,pro (sportsman) & the faster (delay boxes,ect) classes. The basic rules need to be followed while building your car if you plan to do any racing at a sanctioned track. Seatbelts,overflow bottle,battery hold-down (push-pull shut off,if relocated),12" or less of rubber hose for the fuel line,ect. the list goes on & on, but most of it is good common sense. Read the "General rules" section, this is where you will start. Have Fun, Lorne
