going to the track for my first time

First I would check and make sure you can use slicks as you said it was street legal track time and around here that means no slicks,dot approved only.
I am no pro as I have only gone up to the track twice(done a lot of street racing)
I ran my drag radials at 13 pounds and warmed them up good(1st into 2nd gear and then let it roll out)
Then staged my car foot braking it at 2200(running a low gear 904 with a 4000 stall verter)
And then let it rip and have a good time.
