I saw on the website that you could be a part of both autoX and the car show and accommodation would be made to make it work. Is the Drag racing the same day? If so are there accommodations for being a part of two things one of them being drag racing?

here's an important one.

What gear is required for autoX and drag?

Just a helmet or anything else specific?

^I agree with kipp, what's the safety requirement in drag racing? How strict are the rules? If I run a certain speed or time, would I ask to leave for not have the proper safety, aka a roll cage?

For Midnight Madness when I wen back in Oct. the only thing posted for safety info was:

Helmets are required for All Racers at All Events...
(Snell 2005 or better for 13.99 or quicker)
(DOT helmet for 14.00 seconds or slower)
Long pants and shirt required....

That was for the drag racing so not sure for AutoX

Does anyone know if it will be a problem if I dont know what my car will run and only have a DOT helmet. AKA if I end up actually running a sub 14 quarter will I be asked to leave the track or they might let it slide if it's just like a 13.7 or something? I know rules are rules for a reason usually and that question might sounds stupid, but thank you for answering it anyways
