Non race you definitely can get a lot of passes. But day before it depends. If it’s a track series race you probably still can get some passes, but if it’s a special race as in dragster or cars that have to run tow crews it slows way done. Thanks for the info. It's a regular ET bracket weekend.

For those who race at Sac Raceway, quick question. How busy are the open test and tune Saturdays when they've got a race the next day? How many passes could one expect to make? I'm looking to take my pile out, but am wondering if it's best to wait for a non-race weekend. Thanks. It really depends if any clubs are gonna show up to test. But usually I can make about 8 to 10 passes. Were taking the Dart out this Saturday.

Be aware that the March Meet (MM) is coming up soon and I know some of My friends (A/B/C/E2 nostalgia) will be there to get Their cars limbered up and bugs out along with seeing how any new hardware works. So, most likely will be a higher than normal TNT car count Saturday with those MM folks getting ready. I would expect no more than six (6) TNT hits. Sunday is Team Sac Race #3 and not much time for testing. Get a Trophy/Sportsman/Pro/SPro(?) Tech Card and You'll get at least 3 hits on Sunday. Sunday's track prep will be mucho better just for 'heads up'.

Miss that place. Always plenty of track time to get passes in. The one exception might be one weekend before the March Meet but could still get at least 4 in. Was a great place to test a car and try and make it so it would hook anywhere. Especially early in the year when it was cold a foggy. Figured if we could get down it then we were golden anywhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuhfPsfYBKg

Minimum of 4 passes at any time Jrs. or not. That is if you get there, get teched and up to the lanes on time. Minimum of 3 passes for $60 on Sunday with a better track. $100 for Sat. Testing at Sac on Saturday is 50.00 and the track prep has been great. Sundays bracket race is 2 time runs and then eliminations. https://youtu.be/CrjWZypbkdU

How diligent does tech check the Snell ratings on helmets. I just realized mine is waaaay out of date. Still looks new though. Dammit! He will catch it for sure. He is pretty good.
