All this talk of wearing a helmet has given me flashback to '98 when I had finally broke the 11 sec barrier in my stang... Ran an 11.xx and the officials tracked me down in the pit area and told me I couldn't run unless I had a helmet. Well, I didn't even own a helmet at the time, so I had to use the rental helmet they have for $5, which I thought to myself, "yuck!" But, I wanted to go again so I strapped it on and headed for the staging lanes.
LOL, I did my burnout and staged... the tree came down and BAM! I dropped the hammer and my head went flying into the back seat, it felt like, and as I reached for second gear, nothing was there (I was grabbing air)...
needless to say, I missed second gear and had to abort the run, lol. I'll never forget that!
I was pissed, but LMAO at the same time!!! Geez
Marty, I'd say Deuce has given you the best pointers thus far...
You could always watch my wheelstand video again to get an idea of how
not to make a pass down the 1320, lol.
If you decide to run a DR, then yeah, heat em up in the box and roll out under power until they grab... then stage immediately and let 'er rip! ...and most importantly HAVE FUN!!!
