Hey everybody. It's getting close! Only a few weeks until International 29. Registrations are up to 164. Some of the registrants are bringing more than one car. The current car count sits at 189. Hope you are getting excited.

Just a quick note for those of you planning on drag racing Fri. afternoon at the International. A couple of rules to make you aware of:

Helmet: Helmets are recommended for all drivers, but mandatory for drivers in all 13.99 seconds E.T. or quicker vehicles. Helmet must meet SNELL 2000 or better standards (A label inside the helmet is proof of SNELL acceptance.)

We will try to have a couple helmets and jackets available for people to borrow if they do not have one of their own.

Are there any rules regarding coolant in the cooling system? Some tracks require water only.

[UK PONY]

Not sure 5.0 but I'll try to find out for you.

[Matthew]

I've been allowed glycol at SIR before, and it's not an NHRA rule. Mission requires water/water wetter only, and that is now an IHRA rule. I'm planning to show up with glycol unless someone tells me otherwise.

-Matthew

[UK PONY]

I'm assuming that glycol will be fine as it's a street legal event but I am trying to obtain clarification. Will post again as soon as I know for sure.

[UK PONY]

Got confirmation that regular coolant is allowed.

[UK PONY]

Further update & to be honest blatant bump but...

There are now over 200 vehicles confirmed as attending (205 last I heard), hopefully lots more still to register.

[freakshow12]

how many banquet tickets left?

[Matthew]

Looking forward to it. I have a surprise part on my car which will make it's debut in Saskatoon.

-Matthew

[freakshow12]

is it a flux capacitor?

[5.0 Fugitive]

Well it does go faster than 88mph, so I don't think so.

[UK PONY]

Not sure about the banquet tickets Fred but sure there are a few left (hope so anyway, don't have mine yet either).

Matthew, I'm no good with suprises....do we get a hint?

[Darren5.0L]

Well it's either a pine tree airfreshener, or that other thing I seen last time I was in...
