My wife and I were talking about taking the WRX up to Gateway for Midnight Madness on Aug 23 to get some 1/4 mile times just for fun, not entering a competition or bracket.
I was reading on the site to make sure I know what to expect, and I can't really find anything that says the rules or anything. Like, do I have to have a helmet? Do I have to get my car inspected somewhere? Do I have to do anything other than just show up, pay, and race?
I've never gone before, so I just want to make sure I don't get there and end up not being able to race because I didn't follow some rule I didn't know about.
Anybody have some knowledge on this?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT-- Who wants to go August 23 for the Midnight Madness drag event? My wife and I are going, and my buddy Chris is bringing his '05 STi protuned by Jarrad. Anybody else interested? Post below and we can go as a group.
$25 to race, $15 to spectate
Rule book can be found in a response from Josh below, please read it so you know what you need to bring if you plan to race.
ATTENDING: K bomb - Kevin? lol
NOT ATTENDING (due to adult responsibilities): XTi - Brian and wife cmoDT (STLSub) - Chris
LAME (due to general lameness): scoobtube007 - The Peruvian

From what I remember, the only main rule is that if your car is under 14 seconds, you are required to wear a helmet. So if you are even close to that it is advised to wear one just in case. You also may have a passenger if you would like, but they will have to wear a helmet as well. I forgot if they have to pay to ride along or not.

When i went it was pretty painless. Paid my 25 bucks, sign my life away and lined up. Tec inspection was more of a look over to see that you did not have anything falling off your car. I ran a 13.5 and they did not require me to wear a helmet. I even had a passenger that only had a spectating ticket. They really don't get to harsh on rules. You can PM me if you have any questions.

Oh and as far as inspection goes all you really need is a battery hold down they really dont care about anything else
