Both Firebird and Speedworld offer Run-What-Ya-Brung racing for the full 1/4 mile.

I think Firebird does it on Friday and saturday nights, while Speed world does it on Friday (or Saturday?) and Wednesday nights.

Anyone can run, provided they pass tech for the times they intend to run (Cobras do not meet tech unless they have a 5-point cage). If you run faster than 14.00 in any car, you need a helmet.

If you run under 12.00, you will have to meet increasingly stringent tech requirements.

Both tracks are NHRA tracks and you will need to comply with NHRA rules. As far as loosening the rules: This is a difficult proposition. They have to hold to those rules to maintain their "official NHRA sanctioning". I do know they can occasionally cater to a "club", but this is the exception, no the rule. You gotta realize they generally have to hold NHRA rules, since that is their real bread and butter (the bi-yearly NHRA shows hosted).

The cost is low. $10 or $15 to race or watch.

All the street racers know this is available, but it is difficult to stage "grudge" races and therefore they race on the streets instead. This lack of "grudge" racing capability is the biggest reason the street racers won't go.
