Sure... tips?

-Bring a helmet
-WATCH the light. not the other driver. Hehe..
-bring a couple friends
-drinks (soda)
-food
-camera
-money

Anyways, the first time I went to the track, my kick ass r/t of 1.5 was due
to the fact I watched the driver instead of the tree. Just look at the tree
and dont' even worry about the other guy.

I'd hold on the brakes (automatic) and give it gas until abou 1200 RPMs as
the yellow lights fall, just let up on the brakes on the LAST YELLOW light.
by the time your truck responds and everything is moving, you should have a
nice R/T... On magnum motors, I wouldn't just let off the brake and slam
on the gas. Release the brake and just mid-throttle then STOMP into it.

That's about it. Turn ur OD off, and have fun.

Well all, Im taking my truck to the track for the first time tommorow for
the local test and tune day.... last sunday of the season, then they go back
to friday nights.
BUT, what I need are some pointers, anything that I need to know, and how
this is done!! Ive watched enough to know that when the light turns green,
you go, but what about deep staging, holding the brake and gasing it up
untill the light turns or what. ANY tricks that you guys could help me with
would be great!!
