Okay, now I've got a question.
What do you do to prepare the car to drag race?
In the old days, we'd let air out of the tires, take the air filter out, maybe jerk the back seat out of the car. I'd damn sure get a tuneup before I ran, but that was before electronic ignition and plugs good for 100k. What do you guys do today...within reason?

Thanks, guys, for all your input. You guys are great!! Nope, we haven't raced yet. There are only 3 test-n-tune days left before this track closes for the rest of the year. I'm hoping to make it to one (or two) of those. I'll be sure to post the results when I do ... even if I totally embarrass myself. 
I'll have to do a few practice runs first so I'll know what to expect off the line. I don't want to startle myself if the tires start spinning and I don't expect it.

BUT of course we all want to go faster.
All I do is try to show up with 1/4 tank of fuel or less. Put 50 lbs air in the front tires, use Drag Radials and take any excess stuff out of the car. That's about it.
