Doe Run for us
We'll be running the #99 Mustang at Doe Run. Just add a window net and we're ready to go. Plus it's only a 45 minute haul instead of the 2 hour pull to MCS.
Love the track at MCS and would rather make the long drive to run there, but at least we can still run without building another car. Hope to see some of you at Doe Run!

doe run rules
you might want to check doe run rules. I think they are a little more restricted than mcs. Just a heads up.

Yes, some of you will be able to run at Doe Run, but not everyone. Their rules are more restricted.

Differences
Pretty much the only differences in MCS rules and DRR rules are that Doe Run doesn't allow aftermarket intakes, porting and polishing of heads and no MSD ignition. We never bothered with a different intake or a ported head anyway( no need), The msd is an easy swap.

What about aftermarket rods? Also what about suspension? If your car/truck came with leaf springs you can not add weight jacks on the rear. what about an inspection hole in pan/bellhousing? Did they do away with the vaccume rule?
