    Luke,
    can't say for sure abut flash, you will need to check with the officials on the night.

    As for settings, hard to say, the light looks like it is pretty good, but would guess that you will need to be up around 800 iso and as wide as your lens will let you if you can't use flash.

    I would be around 1/40th - 1/50th shutter speed and adjust the aperture and ISO to get your exposure correct. How are your panning skills.

    At WSID your wasting your time using a flash, you won't be close enough for it to be useful.

    panning skills wont really help fom up there. maybe a few longer exposure shots would be cool as top fuellers generally have flames showing for the whole track.

    oh and if you want to know if flash is alound trackside...look a the photo haha. you have captured your answer.
