Starting off at drags

[MANWHORE]

I've just moved to sydney and i'm interested in getting into the drags here. I don't know much about it yet, but from what i've read in this forumn, WSID is the place. I believe the street meets are on wednesday? i'd like to come down and watch you guys doing runs, and come meet you guys. Then i'll come down for a run later. My car's still on stock turbs and IC, but it's still fun anyways.

what time do i get down there to spectate?

Spec starts at 5 I think...

Just come down and race it, stock. Then when you mod it you will be abaled to see what difference you mods have made...

Stock you may be abled to get a high 13 low 14, but its a learning curve

so what do i have to do? just come along? or do i have to put my name down first? also, how much does it cost?

I'd suggest going to spectate for atleast 2 meets just to see how the whole meeting operates. Depending on how much you can take... spectator entrance is from 5-10pm. I normally get there around 7:30pm and just sit in the grand stand for an hour or so and then wander around.

Go and checkout the pit area, watch how they all form up, what they do after each run, what they do before each run etc.

You don't exactly get any instructions when you enter as a competitor so having this basic knowledge will help you out greatly rather than just arriving and driving and not having any idea what the heck your doing.

Go to www.andra.com.au and read the section that offers an introduction to drag racing. No I'm not kidding. There's a lot more to it than lining up and driving.

Best of Luck
