Will I be allowed to race my shifter kart at this track?

A little background - It is a extended shifter kart frame (front and rear disk brakes), but with a 07 zx10r motor. It is not yet complete, but I am hoping it will be done soon, and I REALLY want to take it down the 1/8th mile. I have seen shifter karts on youtube going down the dragstrip, but never in person and was hoping this track would allow me to do so.

I know e.t. makes a difference in rules, but I have NO idea what kind of times it will make on regular kart slicks or jr dragster slicks if I pick up a set of them...I am also hoping wet weight will be under 400 pounds without me in it (I am over 200 pounds though)...

Thanks in advance!

im sure at dorchester they wont have a problem. bowman may not allow it but you could check. the only issue with dorchester is the gaurd rail which your front tires could go under and make a mess

There was a shifter kart there running already. The answer is YES they allow it.

Thanks for the quick answers guys!

If they already allowed one shifter kart, I hope they will allow mine even though I don't have the average 125cc shifter kart motor. Once my kart is finished, I will call them to make sure

I would love a shifter kart grudge race haha...

Personally, I am looking for someone with a ferrari who wants to race for pinks - then I may be able to quit my job haha

As soon as I get this project finished I will be sure to post pics/vids up!
