Just the basics, drain and check all fluid levels, make sure BRAKES are good. dont know how your cash situation is, but you should have a nice seat to hold you in place

Check your tire pressure too. Make sure your heater is totally off so no water drips on the track for you or the next guy. Safety is important......

If you want, take out the spare and jack too. Saves some extra weight.

Helmet rating for auto racing

more info hope this helps....

Snell "SA" (Sports Application) rated professional helmets are designed for auto racing and provide extreme impact resistance and higher fire protection.


Helmet - What does Snell, ANSI and DOT mean?

There are three primary helmet ratings: Snell, ANSI and DOT. The standards are set to provide acceptable levels of head protection in the event of an accident. Snell rated helmets can be divided into Special Application (SA) and Motorcycle (M) ratings. The impact protection for these two ratings are generally similar. SA helmets are specifically designed to meet the requirements of an individual who is restrained within a motor vehicle and needs flammability and sharp object impact protection. M helmets are designed to protect individuals who are not restrained and may come in contact with many different shaped objects. Many clubs will accept either the Snell M or SA standard for autocross activities and non-racing track events. Some clubs will accept the ANSI or DOT ratings. High speed racing events generally require the Snell SA rating. Check with your club on their requirements and rating year. Beginning in January 1999 many sanctioning bodies updated their helmet requirements to the SNELL SA 1995 rating. The message is: If you're still racing with a SNELL SA 1990 or older helmet, it's time for a new helmet. The SNELL SA 2000 helmets are now fully available. In most cases these new helmets contain significant safety advances over their predecessors.

Did I see nitrous solenoids??

If so some tracks will require a racing jacket if your running a power adder. I believe it's actually an NHRA rule but not all tracks enforce it.

Be safe and let us know how you do!

I know some tracks will rent you the jacket for $5, so call your local track to find out.
