None of us want to embarrass ourselves. Since they are a lot of newbies coming, I don't think you'll embarrass yourself. We all had to start somewhere. They also have people who have been doing this for a while; people from both the v6 and v8 fast lists, including yours truly.

It is all for fun, so no need to worry about it. There will be plenty there more than willing to give you pointers.

I know it's dumb, but it's the drag racing I'm worried about cause I've never done it. Autox I've done once and I'm comfortable with it I did pretty good actually

Take it from me. I've just started drag racing at the end of October. I was nervous too, but I had my dad to help me out. And it also helped that I've been around drag racing my whole life. I'm still fairly new to drag racing, and sometimes I still get nervous. We are here to help. But practice makes perfect; you could even be on the fast list one day

With a single disk 4000 stall converter. If it was a stock converter I would give it a go.

And you're on the fast list already? I haven't been able u practice because the closest strip to me was only 1/8 until recently that they opened the 1/4 again. I'll be practicing soon.

Heck, practice on the 1/8th also. 90% of a drivers ability is getting a quick 60' time, the other 10% is shifting, that is if you have a manual anyway.

Usually with manuals, you'll get a good 60' as compared to the auto.
