Any tips, new to drag racing?

1000's Gulp O.o...haha

Well I don't want anything too fast.

What I am hoping to do is find a 440 and get some parts later, but right now...just something to have fun with, nothing extremely serious. Just something to have fun working on with my dad, learn more about mopars/cars in general, and have fun messing around the track. :profilel:

...Another question, How many passes can you make before you have to completely tear down an engine and replace seals and parts?
