: First pull next saturday

I want to try pulling next saturday at a local fair.

I will have 305/70/16 ProComp ATs and tie-rod sleeve by that time.

They don't really know in wich class to put me in but I'll probably end up in street without being able to use my Nitrous. So it will be the bastard stack alone.

Any advice on how to start? What low gear to use? Max RPM?

I read 4low 3rd gear in a few posts but I'm not sure it it applies with a built tranny. Do I just floor it when I have the green flag?

Kinda feel like my first time on the drag strip... a little nervous.

Thanks.

get the sled moving first the hammer down :grd:

I would make some spring clamps to help with the axle wrap and wheel hop.
lower your t-bars as low as you can and be as close to the weight class as you can.

Have fun and watch out it is addicting

Lock it in 3rd gear and hit T/H switch.

Get it moving them roll into the fuel, hit it toooo hard toooo fast and you'll did holes.

pay attention to the other pullers before you. it really all depends on the track conditions..
