I drive to the track on a 1/4 tank of gas. At the track I pump out 5 gallons of gas and pour in 5 gallons of 114. Set the boost around 22 and it should run very low 12's fairly easily.

Required items for me when I go to the track are:

1 gallon hudson sprayer to cool the intercooler and radiator between runs.

A brush or rag to wipe the tires off (drag radials must be kept clean)

12V Air compressor for tire and airbag adjustments

2 five gallon gas cans, a shraeder removal too, fuel hose and a wire with 2 aligator clips for fuel swap.

Plus about a million other little things that you pick up over the years.

If this is the first time at the track, don't expect miracles and record as much data about the runs as possible. Tire, airbag pressures, boost, 60ft, etc. The more data you have, the better you can tune your car.

I always carry a pencil in my center console.

Before I shut the car off write down your Scanmaster #'s (O2 & KR, and at what MPH). Also write down launch RPM, pressure in tires/airbags, what fuel, what boost, etc.

Hope this helps.
