I have a 1998 Z28 M6... I am planning to take my car to the drag strip here in Oregon. Its in Woodburn. Has anyone heard of or been to the drag strip there?

I am new at this and am wondering what to do exactly, and if there are any tips or advice anyone can give me. I would like to know how everything works and how to launch. Just the little things that I need to know. Any tricks?

I am currently running on the SS Wheels with the 275/40/ZR17 Falken Tires. And with the A/C belt off.. would that help or no?

Woodburn is one of the premier "local" tracks on the west coast. The bite is good and the people have been great to work with. It is noticeably quicker than the track at Seattle, it just doesn't have the capacity to host a national event. They have a very active weekly program from early spring until it gets too cold to race. If you live in that vicinity, you've hit pay dirt!

 

The NHRA website has some info for "beginners"......

There's also a book by Tony Sakkis - "Bracket Racing" (ISBN 1-55788-266-5) that has the first 20 pages or so dedicated to the basics, including typical track procedures, track courtesy, safety issues, etc.
