Aside from you crashing yourself, the worse that happens is you make a killer pass and they ask you to get X modification done before you come back. Its not like you go to jail.

They will do an initial tech, but most of the time its pretty lax. Both of the 1/8th mile tracks around here and even the big track at Indy they have never opened my hood. They just ask me if I have my battery in the stock location and if I have a safety loop. Then they ask to see my helmet.

That said I drive my car in. Indy gets more in depth with cars that trailer in and look like they reel of 150mph ETs.

I would also say you probably arent going to be as fast as you think you are. Getting the power is only the first step. Your initial passes likely wont yield the ET the engine is capable of making.
