Any tips, new to drag racing?
Great to see new blood on the site! My best advice I can give you is some that was given to me by a Top Alcohol Funnycar driver, Roger Bateman. He said the best thing I can do is to pick 1 guy as a mentor and listen to what he suggests. Chances are you will at least go as fast as he does eventually. I took that advice and picked the best mopar guy at our track and I am learning new things every weekend and having a blast. The car is consistent and now all I have to work on is the driver!
Don't worry about being the fastest car at the track. Get yourself a rulebook and use it as a bible, don't make mistakes 2x!
The guy with all the engines sounds like a good start. Does he race? Is he consistant? If so I would ask him to help you out.
Good Luck!
and get out to the track ASAP and just have fun!
