[QUOTE="Van@RevanRacing, post: 14567096, member: 69847"] Drag Radials are fine for the 1/2 mile event. The surface is excellent but we have not gotten confirmation as to whether or not burnouts are allowed. We will find out the weekend of the event. Ice cells are excellent for these events. Plumb it to by pass the heat exchanger just for racing. Check and change your spark plugs. For events like this you need a colder spark plug. TR7IX or TR8IX depending on boost pressure. If you're at 19 psi or more go with TR8IX. And take spares!!! My personal favorite. Helitape. Dramatically reduces drag co-efficient and improves MPH. Split a roll with a fellow competitor. It's $220 per roll and gets more expensive the wider the tape. Technique, Technique and lastly, TECHNIQUE! I spent a lot of time coaching Derek. He went from 184 to 217 in two short years. Derek don't tell my secrets!!! LOL Most of all, take care of your car, take care of your body (hydrate) and get sleep the night before. Show up fresh and relaxed. You'll have a great time. Anybody has questions let me know. I'm leaving for Daytona in a day so if I'm off grid for a while I'll reply when I can. Usually I can when I'm up in the tower overseeing the track. Hard to post replies when you're watching cars on track. [/QUOTE]
