What about tech? Does any anyone think the cars out there should be legal according to NHRA or IHRA rules. the last time I was there I seen a pick-up running high sevens with out a helmet!! Am I too serious of a racer or just complaining?? Mainly just don't want to see any one get hurt in thier cars either.

THE RULES ARE NOT THE SAME AS NHRA OR IHRA BECAUSE THIS IS A OUTLAW TRACK. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYONE RUN WITHOUT A HELMET BUT I HAVE SEEN KEN AND KENNY STOP SOMEONE FROM RUNNING BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE A HELMET. I AGREE WITH CHRIS AND JIMMY WE FOR ONE PARK WAY IN THE BACK FORTY BECAUSE THERE IS JUST MORE ROOM AND THE WARM UPS BACK THERE DO GET A BIT TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT. MY HUSBAND ALSO SAYS THAT IF OUR VEHICLE GETS HITS ON THE TRACK THAT IS ONE THING BUT ACTING STUPID AND HITTING HIS CAR IS ANOTHER. THERE ARE WAY TO MANY KIDS RUNNING AROUND THERE TO BE ACTING STUPID. A KID CAN RUN OFF IN A HEARTBEAT BEFORE YOU KNOW IT (EVERYBODY THAT IS A PARENT KNOWS THAT) AS FAR AS THE WRECKS GO PLEASE HAVE YOU BEEN TO HMP THEY HAVE AT LEAST ONE OR TWO A NIGHT AND THEY ARE NHRA. I FOR ONE THINK A LITTLE TECH WOULD BE GOOD. I ALSO THINK KEN, KENNY, AND EVERYONE ELSE DO A GREAT JOB AND TRY TO MAKE IT AS SAFE AS THEY CAN (THEY HAVE KIDS OUT THERE ALSO)

where is HMP? You are right ken does do a great job. Maybe I should just stick to NHRA rules and tracks. And not take my car to the hill. Maybe outlaw racing is just to dangerious for me. Sorry, Didn't mean to be a bother, signed:: life long racer

NO NO NOT SAYING WHAT I SAID TO OFFEND ANYONE. HMP IS IN HOUSTON. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ANYONE RACE AT THE HILL. JUST SAYING ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN WHETHER THEY ARE AT THE HILL OR AT A IHRA OR NHRA TRACK DON'T THINK IT MATTERS IF IT IS OUTLAW, NHRA OR IHRA. SORRY IF I OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY DID NOT MEAN TO.

AND BELIEVE ME YOU ARE NO BOTHER. WE ALL HAVE A OPINION AND SHOULD GIVE IT (MAY HELP IN SOME WAY) AS I HEAR THE TRACK IS SLICK RIGHT KNOW. I KNOW WHEN WE RACE WE ARE SKATING ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HEAR THEY ARE LAYING NEW RUBBER AND THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.

WHEREVER YOU ARE HAPPY RACING AT BUT ARE MORE THAN WELCOME AT THE HILL. WE HAVE OUR NHRA DRIVERS LICENSE AND CAN RUN AT OTHER TRACKS AND ARE SURE CLOSER TO OTHER TRACKS BUT LOVE PRAIRIE HILL AND THE PEOPLE OUT THERE. WE DRIVE ABOUT 189 MILES ROUND TRIP TO RACE THERE BUT THE PEOPLE AND FRIENDS ARE WORTH IT.

To (Spector for now) If you waiting to run at the Plex good luck. Im looking at the Schedule there are only three bracket races left this year. Back to Safty at the hill You should ware a helment for your on safty when your racing. Most of the cars I see runing at the Hill will pass teck. If you have run at the plex in the last 22 years I proubly teck you in. I can go to any track around when we are not racing ,I go to the Hill because I like the people that run it and I know most of the racers there and Its the first track I ever saw a drag race in 1962

your right about the three left at the plex. they are only running once a month now. Iguess they are lacking a little money income due to this damn economy and that dude in the oval office. I'm sure some will pass tech but I wouldn't say most. and your right about the people that run it , Ken seems to be a really good person.

I have to agree with spectator on this. I think everyone should wear a helment, especially the faster cars. As far as having to pass all NHRA or IHRA rules, I can't agree, hell I wouldn't be able to run lol. My car has all the safety equipment that would be required but my certification is out and I don't have a license. It probablly would be better if they made sure everyone had seatbelts, helments, and stuff like that. I have seen them stop people from running so they do watch somewhat. I don't care to run my car at the Big name tracks so why would I want to keep investing money into getting recertified and relicensed to run on outlaw tracks? I know stuff don't last forever and I will have to change it but I am pretty sure my flywheel and trany gaurds are not rotting away after 2 years. I guess what I am saying is I agree with "spectator for now" that a little tech wouldn't hurt but don't agree with the following of the NHRA book.

Your right about your car. If I knew my stuff was legal and all I needed was new sticker and license, I wouldnt get them either if I was happy with my car at the hill. It is just a big money expense and your right again, some stuff doesn't need to be replaced just after two years.
