Any tips, new to drag racing?

67GTX is exactly right...........just throw a bunch of money at it and it will go fast. Seriously, if you want to go fast, just add juice........then you blow the engine. Build the engine the right way.......then you tear up trans and rear ends. Their is really no cheap way to go fast (and stay together).....It is probably realistic to have a 12 second car that doesn't hurt parts and is relatively inexpensive. But, in my opinion, anything faster will cost about $500 for each tenth. Good luck PS....when you get in the 9's it is about $1,000 per hundreth.
I agree. and if you never been to a track watch how evry one else is doing it.
