thought so... i dunno about leavin my car there overnight without the battery hooked up tho... that sounds a little sketch, but i guess if anything happens they're accountable for it. and how are we supposed to have our neons or stereo's on without a battery??? the info says we have to have our battery's disconnected, and the gas thing boggles my mind too... i've never been in a show where they want the battery's disconnected and the cars with nomore than a 1/4 tank of gas, weird.....

u can lock your car friday night. you have to buy a power inverter to run electric in all indoor shows. if u dont buy a power inverter or cant afford to buy electric then you cant turn your neons and stuff on cause your battery will be disconnected.

The gas rule is at any indoor show, some require 1/4 tank, some require 1/4-3/4, and some are more then 3/4. ( i would personally like a full take cause the fumes are more flamible). Power inverters run about $200, and you would have to buy power which is probably somewhere in the ball park of $100.
To be 100% honest with you, to place in an NCCA judges show you need to:
1. have ALOT done to you car
2. have no one in your class but you
3. know a judge very well
Besides, it gets really annoying when every car is blarin their systems.
And about leavin your car over night, dont even worry about that. Most indoor shows require roll in a day before, and there are cars there that are 100% unlocked over night that cost WAY more then any of us could afford (i would assume).
Oh... and here is a very helpful tip. I suggest you MANUALLY lock your doors in you are scared someone is gonna take your stuff (this is if you have an alarm). If you lock your car with the remote, then disconnect your battery, your gonna ____ off alot of people with your alarm system... and boy does it echo loud in an arena. So disconnect the battery first, then lock the doors. But then again I never tape up my gas door or disconnect my battery...
