Speaking of traction, buying a used set of slicks for $150 of craigslist and Two junk yard rims to put them on was the best bang for my buck! 1/2 second off my quarter mile time day one. There is a lot of things you can do and take off just for race day. All of witch could be done say in a couple of hours after work on Friday - race -Saturday and in a couple of hours Sunday morning BAM daily driver :D
