Any tips, new to drag racing?

I'm not planing on any street driving with it...but since we don't have a car trailer I will be doing about 5 miles to the track, and 5 miles back. So I could either go drag radials, or street tires and swap out slicks at the track? And my dad thinks what they meant by "partial tubing" is that they started messing with the frame, and just stopped and left it half way done. But minitubing sounds like what he did. My grandma passed away on july 4th. so this week is messed up. This saturday is the memorial service for her and the next saturday. So after this saturday we can start talking about the car...and don't worry I will post a ton of pics, maybe for than you want :)
