Scrutineering
For those who haven't been before, there are two gates to enter WSID, if you are competing you want to enter the competitors gate (obviously
). Once you're in, find somewhere to park and walk up to the main garage in front of the carpark to sign in, there are ladies sitting at tables inside there. Once you fill out your details and get your wrist strap, you can drive your car to the other side of the garage and line-up for scrutineering. They basically do a quick look over your car to make sure it's running fine and has no leaks or anything dangerous exposed etc. They will also check your helmet. Drag Racing
Once you're clear, you can go line-up in the lane you've been designated. You stay in this lane all night. Your lane will be called up to race, and they will split up your lane as you come up to the drag strip, one car on the left side, next car on the right, next on the left etc. Make sure you have your headlights when you come up to stage at the actual drag strip. Once you've done your run, you loop back around (turn your headlights off once you get to the end of the strip) and go around to collect your time slip from the booth, then line up again in your lane!
For those who don't know how it all works when you come up to the drag strip, see if this link helps: Drag Racing Basics
Last time I was at WSID there was a dude there in his Lancer LS so no excuses why more of you can't come join us, it's fun!
