going to the track for my first time

Just keep your focus, concentrate on the car and whats going on around it. I don't like to tie emotion into it, you'll never see me hitting the dash or throwing my tools, I perfer to be more analytical about things. If something goes wrong don't freak, keep your head on and think out a solution. It's drag racing, somethings gona go wrong and you may not get the results you're looking for and that's fine. I think that in drag racing there are 3 numbers, 1) What it should run 2) What it could run 3) What it did run, that's the importatnt one. Also it doesn't hurt to watch a few passes before you go up for yours especially watch the crew guys. HAVE FUN MAN!!
