How to prepare my car for the dragstrip?

"Man, it you guys really hit him hard on that wheelie gig. Bill! Where's your slips!??!"

Oh, hell, that's all right; I've got broad shoulders. And besides, maybe you guys were right; maybe it wasn't really a wheelie that it did. It could have been doing some other weird thing instead that just seemed like a wheelie to me. I was so scared that I almost defecated, so I guess I could have perceived it incorrectly. I still haven't been to the strip but, having said that, I will add that I have never lost a race with the car. The damned thing hooks up and doesn't burn rubber for some reason. But who's complaining?
