You didnt have to clean up the OTHER messes left. But again, thats not any of the Tintmasters people, just a few people who like to ruin things for others is all.

and the rain out really sucked. but like you said, its nobody's fault. it just happens sometimes.

Tell me this then Mr. "I'm Smarter than you" Why is it that when tintmasters did the street legal drags and it was 35 bucks to run, why were there the same oh 40-50 people each time? Why is it that there were more regulars who paid more to race with the high prices, than people when the price is much lower? Tintmasters tried to do something good, but nobody took advantage of it, and now you people stand up and support it. Alot of good it does now. You all cant say you didnt see this coming, with them considering not sponsoring it again. the numbers were way down. and the 2 day weekend ended up being quite disastrous. You people take things for granted then complain when they leave. Typical.

Thats what we did in TX and the lanes were ALWAYS full. The problem is they dont do any night stuff like that. 5pm-1am and sometimes until 2-3am, if there was a good turnout and alot of grudge races going on. As soon as the friday night events started the owner started making a profit, and a big one at that. 5 bucks to watch and 20 to race, they have to do it and see if it works or close the place. the regulars that go every week for $40-60 arent gonna support it forever and most guys i know, my friends for example, if we are each going to spend $60 for test and tune we will spend $100 and go to brainerd for the weekend.

The reason the track closes 1 hr before sundown isn't because the people that run it are old and tired, it's because the law says they have to.

The push-off one, I mounted mine below the tail light. If I want I can remove the rod...

No street legals=no Dragstrip for me. pretty sad when you can drive to marion and back plus race for only $5 more. This place is so overpriced i would rather go to Brainerd or Marion. Only reason i went in the first place was cause the Tintmasters events brought the price down to a reasonable level. They need to wake up and lower the prices if they want it to stay open.

The switch has to be permanently mounted.

DAMN. I'll have to figure something out, under the plate or something and take the plate off

If you do the flaming river you need a sticker that says "push off".

Do you think that wired right? Just need to do the approved battery box, with vent, and a approved switch?

and recomendations for the switch?

this is what I was looking at:

Basically it should look like this:

BATTERY -------- ALTERNATOR
|-------- SWITCH --------------- EVERYTHING ELSE

For how my battery is currently hooked up.

I have the original positive cable hooked up to a jumper post. On the back side of the jumper post is where the power wire goes to my battery. So, its like a extension. Would I need to run a seprate wire from the positive of the alternator to the battery?

And should the cutoff switch should be in the possitve cable?

Battery relocation to trunk requires an NHRA approved battery box (Moroso blue box is our box of choice), NHRA approved cut off switch, and that the battery box is vented to the outside of the vehicle if it is a hatchback.

When you wire the kill switch up, it must kill the vehicle. What this means is the alternator needs to be wired to the battery directly all the way in the rear of the vehicle.

that means I'll need to change my battery stuff probably. anybody got a link for the 07 rule book(battery relocation in particualar).
