First Timer's Guide to American Street Car Series

Hey Guys, I don't think this currently exists, but thought it would be great to get some insight into what one should prepare for in anticipation of the event. Read the tech rules and got those items covered, but was thinking about fuel, replacement parts, tools, etc. Any feedback would be most welcome.

Thanks!

Lol, I may get some flack for this comment. But it is in good fun and humor.

1. Bring your own timing equipment, so you can see how you are doing.
2. Bring a lawn chair, so you can wait as the big dogs get more turns than you.
3. Bring a note book, so you can write down the new rules as they may change on Sat morning.
4. Bring an extra set of tires other than BFG's, so if the BFG reps aren't there you can actually run a tire you want.

I feel like I just did an Art Mann list for one of his party ventures.

I wish this wasn't so accurate

Just show up and have a good time. Then rub it in when Brett is black flagged.

Don't bother running 200 plus tread wear BFGs or similar. Just go right for the "exhibition class" tires. Run groups aren't based on classes. You can still run alongside your friends, and you'll be faster. If you aren't faster, no big deal, you're running in exhibition, and your times won't be recorded so no one will be able to make fun of you after the fact because there won't be any proof.

Also if you're like me, you'll want a Mustang as a back up car for when the Chevy breaks. rent one if you have too

Good point Matt, and I'm sure Todd understands this point very well.
