What to expect
The track flyer says NHRA rules apply and promotes a Friday test-and-tune session followed by Saturday Run What You Brung racing.
Questions racers are already asking remain unresolved in the material reviewed: whether a 315/50R17 qualifies for the “All on 28s” rule on newer cars that cannot use a 15-inch wheel; whether AWD cars are allowed in the Fastest Street Car Shootout; what exactly qualifies as a street car; and whether Saturday has any separate testing/racer fee beyond the posted $20 gate fee.
Gulf South Drags is leaving those items unconfirmed rather than guessing. Check with Swamp Bottom for the official class rules before making the tow.
