going to the track for my first time

I would suggest the first time ya go watch a few races first. Make sure you know where the beems are located. Don't forget when ya first get to track to find out where tech is and get car teched in. Before you go check your battery hold downs make sure it is good, double check car for leaks and such, and make sure ya have a overflow tank on radiator.

If you have a manual valve body start in second and shift to third. Slowly roll out and let off gas. Depending on tire brand you using some like more heat then other so play with how long you burn them based on launch. Try starting out around 14 psi or so in the slicks and work down if it spins. If someone goes with you have them watch your launch. Put a small mark on tire and rim( unless you using bead locks) make sure tire is not spinning on rim. Trying launch first time at around 1000rpM. It will allow convertor to shock the suspenion and tires and allow slicks to work.

Each run you making a change but only change one thing at a time so you know what works and what doesn't. Remember good rule of thumb is for every tenth you can take off 60' you lose 2 tenths at big end.

Biggest thing to remember is have fun. Talk to people and ask for suggestions. Most racers are pretty friendly and most will help out a new person.
