Just a quick note of introduction. I've only been to the salt flats once, and that wasn't during an event, but the bug bit me, and has been festering ever since. I'm into old cars, like many here I'm sure. I'm hoping to make it down to the Salt as a spectator in a few years perhaps. Some day of course, I'd really like to go down the track. I currently don't own anything that will go over 65mph (on asphalt yet!). I'm a lurker, and sure enjoy seeing the builds that go on here. I don't think I can get speed rated tires for my Model T One Ton Truck, I also suspect no one would want to be behind me, watching me go down the track at 18 mph. Guess this mean I'll need to build a speedster of some kind.
If I buy a rule book, will that tell me all I want to know about classes, what I can race, if I need a roll-cage, etc? That will sure prevent me from asking a bunch of dumb questions, although I suspect I could get those all out of the way pretty quick!
