Being a track rental hopefully the track will be really well prepped!

Main thing is to:

1) Watch the workers and their hand signals. They will guide you.
2) Make sure you drive around the water. You don't to drive through it with street tires.
3) Just give the tires a quick spin to clean the tires. Don't try a big burnout
4) I'm getting my best launches by simply "flashing" the converter. Left foot on the brake, right on the gas. When the 3rd Amber light comes on, hit the gas as you let off the brake. I also am leaving TC on.
5) Look at your time slip. You should be able to get your 60' time down below 2.2. Try working on your launch until you get it down to 2.1x

But really... it's all about having fun!
Thanks, I appreciate it. One question, tire PSI. My 19" call for 35, should you lower the rears any? I know it may mean little but any edge ?

And yes I will have fun.
