The weather will be perfect for making horsepower.
Highs in the low 50's! Brrrrr
It's going to be cold so bring appropriate gear for standing outside all day...

My thoughts on the fire extinguisher mirror those of Jim's.
We run our cars very hard at this track and things can break.
Accidents happen and we cannot prevent that. We can only prepare for the worst and try and protect ourselves.

I now wear a flame retardant fire suit, gloves, shoes and neck brace for this track. Yeah I hope I never need it but I'll be glad if I did.

Last time out one of the guys brake fluid leaked out onto his headers...
Fire had started and luckily for the driver there was an extinguisher close by. Things could have been much worse than they were. Thankfully the only damage was a dirty engine compartment and embarrasment. We'd hate to see any cars burn up. Guy's, you are responsible for protecting your own cars.

Again, accidents happen and it's better to be safe than sorry.
It's your car and we recommend you have a fire extinguisher installed for your safety.
It is not required but highly recommended you have appropriate safety equipment to protect yourself and your car.
This track is not an auto-x. It is a test track and speeds can get in excess of 100mph. We do not want to get anyone injured or damage any of our cars.

Lets have fun!
