Your first time at the track should be used just to get used to the track and your car!

To get the best run you can, it will take some experimenting on your part. Try different things to see how your car reacts. You can change tire pressures and launch rpms to get better or worse grip off of the line. These changes can/will effect your speed and your ET.

Our SC club website has two articles posted that will give you a Drag Racing 101 & 102 lesson. 101 is mostly gerneral info about what to do before you go to the track and how to find out how to run your car. It also has drag racing terms and definitions. 102 is an article about making adjustments to your stock (or mostly stock) vehicle at the track that can effect your times and you trap speeds.

Have fun and be safe ..............
 
Also in between runs you can ice down your engine to cool it off. Practice your launch, it is the key to getting good times.
