Advice for beginner wanting get into drag racing?

All of the above are good answers. Don't be afraid to ASK questions.I took 20 years off from racing,things changed when I went back. So simple questions "This is my first time here,after I pay my way in where should I go next?"You will get a tech card. When you go to the tech line ask for help filling out your tech card. Ask the tech inspector "This is my first time" You will find most are willing to help any way they can. Next you will line up in the staging lanes.At most tracks you will have plenty of standing around time in the lanes.ASK some one around you "How do you stage?" Most everybody there was a first timer once and most will have no problem giving advise.
