Alright fellas, I've never run at a track before, so help a virgin pop his cherry and let me know if there's anything else I need to do or bring.

Removed back seat, spare, jack
Changed oil (6.5 qts. Mobil 1 5W-30)
Bought new plugs to install today(Bosch Platinums)
Cross iron for switching on Mikes DR's
Jeans, TMCA shirt

What else do I need, besides lightning-quick reaction times, traction and smooth shifts?

Closed toe shoes, not that they can see your feet in the car but the tech guys will give you crap. Other than that, the only bit of advise I have for you is leave on the third yellow and just stay calm. If you get worked up, you'll blow your launch. Watch what everyone else does(as far as your burnout and lining up) and you should get the hang of it in no time.:D

yeah rt's dont effect et

so if you next to something really fast, let it take off, that way if it breaks or goes sideways it wont hit you. also that way you can just watch it launch

if we set up some sort of bracket though you may wanna work on reaction time

Someone remember to bring tow straps to get Bo and his overheated car back to Tallahassee. Bring an extra set in case Adrian uses slicks.:lol:
