stage shallow and leave before the last yellow is off to get a good light, listen for your class to be called and get into the correct staging lane. take white shoe polish for numbers on window and dial in. always check scoreboard for your dial in before making a elimination pass so it matches the one you put on your window, take a helmet as some tracks say you need one even for street class'. make sure you have a overflow can for radiator. just a few, have fun
