Re: first drag race tips?

I assume since it's your first trip you're on street tires......so drive around the water box, not through it. Normal street tires don't need to be heated up, a quick spin to clean em off is all ya need. Line up OUT of the groove, street tires tear up the track for the guys with slicks. Those two tips will keep the regulars off your back. Hit the gas when the last yellow comes on and hang on! Make sure you know where the turn off is before you make a pass. Have fun!
