When racing your street car at night, turning on the defroster also turns on the A/C compressor, and will slow you down a couple tenths in the 3rd round. DAMHIK

If the vaccumn gauge is bouncing at home and the engine doesn't seem right, it won't fix itself hauling it on the trailer. Keep it home and get it right before going to the track.

When you buy a new tow vehicle don't wait until you're late leaving for a race to find out the trailer plug isn't wired correctly. Don't ask me how I know.

Never assume you took out the hood scoop plug.
When your carb is sealed tightly to the hood it's really amazing how fast the top of the scoop will get sucked down doing a 5K burnout during the 3rd on a night when your drivers door latch is messed up

Always be sure you put the cap back on the fuel cell after topping it off.
The resulting "waterfall" coming out of your trunk will REALLY annoy the track crew should this little tidbit slip your mind.

When the throttle feels mushy during the burnout, be sure and check to see you CO2 bottle is on to work the throttle controler and the air shifter, DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW
