First time going to the track. Any advice?

I agree. I’m going to get tires and if it still doesn’t hook then I’ll start worrying about suspension. I’ve seen it in slomo and the car doesn’t transfer at all. The front suspension is very stiff but going to do tires first
It’ll hook with the drag radials at their recommended psi and getting your length of burnout figured out. And then you may find the front will raise and the rear may raise or squat.
