Im going too the track this weekend with my 69. Stock front suspension. SSM lift bars in rear. 400hp/425tq TH 400 tranny 3000 stall. 235/70/15 regular tires. Im looking for any advice that may help me, something you wish you would have known when you raced for the first time. Im going too unhook my swaybar, I assume I should unhook my vacuum advance, Im planning on making it idle at 1000-1200 so I launch the same everytime or should I try too make it stall as much as possible without turning the tires? Any suggestions on tire pressure. Im pretty sure traction will be a problem but I dont want too spend money on tires until I see what Ive got. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot for all of the replies. Hopefully I can go on friday too get a good day of test and tune. By staging with the rear tires do you mean accidentally going by the beams with the fronts and not realizing it and then when the light goes you have already red lighted

Gary, I also look forward too meeting you guys. I have all of the tech stuff that was mentioned before except a driveshaft loop(assume I dont have too with a mid-high 13s car on street tires) and I may have more than 12" of rubber fuel line. Do you know about either of these. I emailed them so hopefully I will find out soon. My cousin went too Detroit Iron last year and the first Nostalgia this year and he said they were relaxed on the tech, I dont know if it was because of the number of cars or what. Everyone else has told me they were very strict. My cousin has a dark blue 79 trans am and he tows it with a maroon 68 bonneville, so if you see that I should be close by.
