Default questions about the track.

I'm planning on going april 1st but I need to do somethings first. 1st question do I need a driveshaft loop to run Drag Radials? 2nd I have a gas tank w/ a sump in it but it's running the stock pump location in the tank. when I bought the car it had a line comming from the sump w/ a screw to cap the end will they let me in with that or not? and 3rd it says in the book I have that if the nitrous bottle is in the passanger compartment that it needs to be vented to the outside. would they consider the trunk in my hatchback needing to vent to outside? I think that's it. thanks in advance for the help.

Are you just doing test and tune? Or are you going to compete

with a hatch you need it to have a vent tube for the nitrous
the track I race at requires a driveshaft saftey loop if you have drag radials and run faster than a 13.0

BEST thing to do is call your track you plan to race at, they are the only ones who can tell you what you need to know.

Just so you know, regardless if its test and tune or competing, it won't matter, they won't let you race if you don't pass tech inspection.
1. Like silver said, if you have a hatch,you NEED to have a vent tube unless the bottle is completely sealed off from the driver.
2. The gas tank thing, I highly doubt they will even notice that, unless its hangin' down in plain sight.
3. As for the shaft safety loop, why not buy one anyways, they're super cheap and easy to put in.
