Advice for a track n00b

[DevilSperm]

our track opens in 3 weeks and this is the first spring/summer ill have an engine in my car so i plan to go do a few runs...i just need some tips on what to do and not do....am i supposed to drive around the burnout puddle? I have a feeling that on this track theres no going around it, so will it be a problem driving through it and draggin water up to the tree? I will more than likely be the only 4 banger there so i gotta do good and not be a jackass

drive around it.

If not, you'll piss off other cars plus the water might cause accident.

Yea. Definately drive around the water box. You don't wanna be that dumbass who drives through it and gets water all down the track and screws it up for everyone.

drive around the water

second you see the last yellow light, light up go your reaction time of seeing that to pressing the pedal is almost key. this will let u pull off good reaction times.

dont stage next to a car quicker then 10 it will make u look realy slow

hit second gear

and last do not bog the launch u will hear them making fun of you till the end or the track

Here's an excellent page to help you get started at the drag strip. Make sure to check out the Reaction Time Clinic, it will show you what the car is supposed to do as the light is counting down.
