I know racer who do, it depends on how long it has sat bewtween rounds and the outside air temps  NHRA requires that you run the car on jackstands, not on a jcak. I prefer to drive the car around in the pits for a while( I have a trans oil, engine oil and water temp gauge inthe car) to warm all the fluids up to above 100 F, especially when it is below 70 F outside, which is quite common up here in central Oregon

moparnut426,  I should have put the 1st time when I warm the car up.  I want not just the water or oil temp. to be up but everything else in the engine. This is a must do if running aluminum rods. Mr Cab warming a dragster up on jack-stands is not a good idea,at least on a hard-tail. When Woody Mays & Bill Key were building my 2nd dragster,a cutomer of there's who had just picked the car put his engine & everything in and put it on jack stands in his shop with the door closed.He was stitting in it,but could not stop it before it went tru the door. I think the way the T/F & F/C get away with it is the way they raise them up both front & back on the frames(not 100% sure about that).But I know putting the jack stands under the rear-end of a hard tail car is not a good idea.
