Thinking about racing at the track....tips?

[Greg94Red392]

My friends and I are going to the local track (Bristol Dragway) Thursday. I wasn't gonna race, just watch, but now that I think about it I feel like I have to do it just to see what i'd run. I have never done anything like this before...when I race imports at red lights its just floor it when the light turns green and i'm off. I already know to take my sub out and spare tire, but what else should I do to get ready and get the best run possible? What should I set my tire pressure to, and how should I go about timing my launch with the lights and stuff? Also, my car is an automatic, how do I stall it and what do I stall it to?

Lastly, what should I expect to run? My car is a 98 w/ Y87 and 79,xxx on the clock. Flowmater exhaust, whisper lid w/ K&N filter. I also have 17" TT2's. I'd like to hit mid-low 15's if at all possible.

With your mods 14.9-14.7 should be possible :)
