[QUOTE="FastE, post: 15542515, member: 182293"] Just purchased a low millage 2012 Shelby GT 500, BONE stock. I plan to take it to the track for the first time in a couple of weeks and I need to know some watch outs. I have been drag racing since 1970. I haven't raced a stick since 77, auto since then so got to learn again. 1. I will be running the stock F1 Goodyears that need some heat to work. do not have a line lock. Question. Can i wet the rear tires, drive around the water box back up wet the rear tires and do a second gear burnout(3:73 gears)? Traction control off? 2. Do I make a pass with the traction control on or off? I know it is going to be a learning curve. 3. Any thing I need to watch out for other than getting out of the groove? Will be running a full 1/4 at The Texas Motorplex, nice wide smooth track. I know that I am prepared to lift if anything does not feel right. Any advice and help is appreciated! Thanks FastE [/QUOTE]
