Well it gonna be my first time at the track and was wondering if you had anytips. Unfortunately i wont have my cutout installed by that time but its alright. Im going to change the fluids in the car on wednessday and drop the tire pressure to 28(?). Anyother helpfull tips?

 

what kind and size are your tires?

 

Uhm, keep it off of the wall? J/K, although I highly recommend doing that. There are a couple of good posts about first time at the strip if you do a search. Mostly I would recommend telling the track people that it's your first time, they'll give you a basic rundown of how they operate. Make sure you understand the lights, when and when not to start your burnout etc. The other recommendation would be to take it easy for a few runs until you're comfortable. I've found that drag racing is more finesse than most people think, especially if you have traction issues, which you will.

Have fun.

 

well just get there and watch a few people race. I'm not sure if you've been to the track or not. This will just let you know where to go and how to stage, and get a look at the lights. As far as tips for your ET? get your car staged, hold your left foot on the brake, then right when the last yellow light flashes give it about 3/4 throttle. Most of the time if you just floor it off the line you'll spin too bad and worse if you stall it some and floor it. Then just keep her straight. I've got her a little squirrely for the 1-2 shift
