1st time at track next Wednesday - need advice

If your car is making 500hp, with slicks here are some of the basic things you will need before you go (not a complete list).

Helmet
Pants (no shorts)
closed toe shoes
Drive shaft loop
3 inch wheel studs
aftermarket axles
battery hold down
If the battery is in the trunk, a cut off switch is mandatory.
Double springs on the carb
Neutral safety switch
Locking dip stick

If your car goes under 11.5 (which if it really is making 500hp, it should) you also need:

Fire resistent SFI approved jacket
Rollbar

This is just a few of the things that you will need to before you go (NOT all). Get an NHRA rule book and take a look for a complete list.....isn't racing fun!?!?

Wednesday night drags needs little to none of that. A street legal car, a valid driver's license and a helmet. If you break 11.49 you need more safety items. I am looking for useful advice on how to line up, how to time the lights, how to take off, should I adjust the Caltracs, shocks set firm or soft, all that kind of stuff. I am a total newbie at this. I street race all the time, never at a track. Here is the link for the races. http://brainerdraceway.com/wednesday-night-drags/
