Default Going Racing!

Alrighty,

going down to Townsville dragway on Saturday night.

What should I expect? I've never raced before...

I don't plan on stalling my car up as I don't have a tranny cooler and I don't want to lunch my gearbox as I have a 4 hour drive home afterwards.

Radiator overflow bottle?
I know the tread on my tyres is fine...All my lights work...
I know to wear clothes that cover me, shoes and an approved helmet.
They are only street meets, so I don't think they are too strict.

Umm, what about at the lights? Guess if I'm not stalling it up, to just mash the pedal when the light goes green. I'm assuming it's worth my while to use manual mode.

Will I have to run more then half a tank of juice? Just in case?
What kind of times should I expect? Got the usual mods...full exhaust, high flow cat, intake, etc etc...

I'm thinking maybe a mid 15 with a good 60ft?

Can't wait to go down =) Gonna challenge my mate in his VLT.
