I wrote an article titled "Drag Racing Primer and Track Etiquette" that you may find useful. Go to www.kennedysdynotune.com and at the bottom of the left hand menu you will find a link to "Tech Tips". Follow that link and click on "Drag Racing Primer and Track Etiquette". Let me know what you think.

I just returned from NED. Go to their website at http://www.newenglanddragway.com and read the racers handbook. When you go Wednesday night pick up a hard copy of it (free).

Let the tech guys know it is your first time.
Bring a helmet, long pants, socks and a full t-shirt (no tank tops).
Watch he other racers before you run. See what they do. Wedneday nights there are usually a lot of idiots there racing so look for people who know what they are doing. Get there early.

Traction will suck because it is a street tires only night. On the third yellow bulb floor it.

Read Rich's link and also look at this: http://www.staginglight.com/resources/index.html it is written by a good friend of mine.
