The main thing is to have fun !
The 90deg heat with humidity will hurt your time. Don't go there expecting 12 second times. This is a great opportunity for you to work with your car and find the best launch technique for you and your car...experiment with it after all it is all in fun and enjoying the feel of the car pulling you down the track. Once you start really understanding your car I can gaurantee 12's are in your future with a few small mods.
