First time jitters I guess would be problem combined with inexperience in racing!

Go there with the mindset of trying to have fun and ask questions and learn from the more experienced people there and leave your ego at home and you'll be just fine.


Go there with your mind everywhere but where it needs to be, then you will be nervous and do what this idiot did.

Re: Track Tips

Do: Listen, watch, ask questions, emulate experienced dragsters.
Don't: Expect to win, show-off & theres way to many more don'tsssss.
Have fun & try to relax.
I'm not a dragster but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once or twice.
