So i've been browsing the Drag Racing forum for a while but i am rather new to alot of drag racing as are alot of other people and i thought maybe a good sticky would be for the experienced people to describe how they got into the sport and things they have learned that might help the noobies get started.

also if its a sticky it might avoid some of the "first time drag racing" threads.

 

This is a great idea. Maybe we can get some of the OG's to post up some ideas and we can sticky it

 

whats og ? early 90's ? 80's ?

lol -- okay new thread

we need to debate the defination of OG and then we can make a sticky and then we can call people names when they come in and ask a dumb question and link them to the sticky

 

Link 1 - Screwing Slicks to Rim
Link 2 - Courtesy at the Track **IMPORTANT**
Link 3 - Launching Your Car
Link 4 - Knowing the differences for the Tree and Different types of Staging
Link 5 - How to read your sparkplugs to understand how your motor is running
Link 6 - Different Racing Series/Rulebooks/2008 Calender
Link 7 - NOPI Announces it has Suspended Operations
Link 8 - Different types of Racing Classes to compete in

something another site has for drag racing

 

get those links working.. Could be beneficial to some!

 

clueless: thats exactly the type of thing im thinking.

ive been racing the friday night street legal drags for a few years but want to move on to the next step and am not sure where to go so information on how to understand the different classes and stuff in hte NHRA rule book etc would be very valuable information to me and im sure many others!

 

im pretty sure Arturbo had a thread similar to what Brian posted up above.

fairly often people ask what size slicks to run. isnt there a mathematical formula to calculate that?
