Question Dragstrip prep questions?

What is recommended when preping for the strip:

Remove spare tire? (rear weight issue?)
1/4 tank of fuel? (rear weight issue?)
hose intercooler between runs?

Thanks!

Cool

Remove the following:
1) Spare tire
2) Jack & bracket
3) Wheel nut covers
4) Passenger seat
5) Tailgate
6) Most of the gas in the tank

Remember to replace the engine coolant with water. Some tracks require long pants.

Bring the following:

1) Choice of beverages.
2) Fold-up chairs.
3) Insect repellant.
4) Window cleaner to remove numbers.
5) Shades.
6) Some sort of shelter for the sun.
7) Gas in a can.

Have fun !

I'd watch for a little while, talk to people, 90% of the people you will meet there will be very helpful, and will enjoy talking to you.
I have meet the nicest people at the strip, no matter what you drive most people are intrested.
A lot of people get a kick out of my car, its bottle fed and has so much wheel spin, its just funny, and fast for a four door fwd.

Bottom Line have fun, be safe...
