Default Car scuitineering.

Is there any little surprizes at the drags( 8 hour round trip for us)
My XD is roadworthy, except i have no handbrake cable to my rear discs. I have radiator overflow, tailshaft loop exc. I also have the highpressure fuel hose from tank to carby. I just hope there is no rule that there must be steel fuel lines instead.
Thanks.

For a street meet you would pass at any track in Australia with flying colours.

They always check my car won't start in gear(auto), that the battery is tied down firmly & since I have the battery in the boot I have to leave a key in the lock tied with a bit of wire. They allso check that my helmet has it's approval sticker on it & that I'm wearing long sleeves etc
