Are you like teasing us? So what you are saying if we come out with our car we will not get a pass in? Sure would be nice to get a base line in or a test and tune.

Well, it's mainly an equipment test for the timing system, and to find out how we want to set up - none the less - how's the best way to test a timing system? Or actually the ONLY way to test it? :burnout: :D
Anyway, please note that we will require the same standards as for real test&tunes, e.g. 98dB noise limit ...

That sounds cool. I was also told by Bruce that there will be an additional class for us guys running cheater slicks and NOS. Is that true? If so I have alot of friends that are not planning to run because of the compliance with the TUV inspection. If that is not the case then we need to get the word out so that others can plan for the races.

Rule one: Race but do not say the word 'Race' in Germany. :wink:
(requires permits, laws, driver lizences, doctor certificates...)

Rule two: On public roads is no slicks/nitrous or other raceparts allowed,
therefore do not call those raceparts legal.
Do not call those cars street legal. On the track - different story. :wink:

So we do a call a Test and Tune, but we will .... ? right! 100 points to you!
We will have the same fun as we would name it race... :wink:

And we will have two groups... the 'streetcars' and the 'others', which got
a little more... 'cause we do a test and tune on the track. :wink:

BIG rule: no car allowed louder than 98dB at 3800 rpm, no matter what car it is... everything else I can stick in somewhere... :shock:

I recon we will have a flyer sometime after the April 5th test date (need to hurry with that I guess ;)) which can be put up ... guess I'll be making the usual two sizes, one handout quarter page, and one regular to hang somewhere ...
