Here are some things to consider. First, find out which side of the track the turn-outs are located on, go down and familiarize yourself with them before you do any time shots, laps or race. Make sure that you do not cross over in front of the other car when you conclude the run. Let the car closest to the turnout get out first then follow. Second, please obey 'courtesy staging'and go in or follow to Stage in a timely fashion. Don't hang someone up getting your head screwed on, revving the motor, dry hops,...before the run: Be ready. Finally if you do not have slicks drive around the water box. Water dripped from street tires under a hard hitting car with slicks is never fun to experience after a solid launch. Like the other guys mentioned; go over your Starting Line sequence mentally in the car before you get up there. It will become habit but at first you are nervous and anxious. Be safe and have fun.
