Beech Bend's Saturday night events do adhere to IHRA tech guidelines, so keep that in mind if you want to race at night.

Afternoon Race Events:

Members and non-members alike will be racing after the lunch break, but we will be scheduling some of the lane arrangements so that our organized grudge matches can be held.
Tennesspeed Grudge Matches
Heads up racing for all comers
Technical Requirements:

We strongly urge you all to follow NHRA race guidelines as specified for your class of vehicle (E/T ratings). Tennesspeed and Beech Bend staff will be conducting tech inspections and basically will hit the high points. We did not refuse anyone the opportunity to race last year and likely won't this year either unless a vehicle poses a significant safety risk.

Here are the things that we absolutely will require of all racers...
Helmets for anyone running 10 second runs or faster
Helmets for all motorcycle racers
Vehicles may not be leaking any fluids
Vehicles may not have any loose body panels
All racers must wear long pants and proper footwear. No sandles.
Street driven vehicles must have proof of insurance
Beech Bend track officials reserve the right to deny you the opportunity to race if they feel that any other major safety violation is present.

Ultimately, this is their facility that we are using so we all have to obey their rules. We didn't see anything like that happen last year, but they do have the right to override any of the requirements listed above.

Morning Racing for Members

If you aren't a member of the forum by midnight of May 7th, then you will not be allowed to race the morning of May 8th. You will have to wait until 1:00pm to race.

We will be printing out a master list of all of our members and providing that to the staff working the gate. This is how we will determine if you are allowed to race in the morning or must wait until we open the gates to the public.

Be sure that you know what your screen name is when you show up! You will be asked for it when you arrive.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In regards to motorcycle racing, this will not be allowed for the morning part of the track. However after 1pm motorcycles will be allowed.



For those that join us, have fun and be safe :thumbsup:
