Greg & Legend
Welcome.
This is everyone's first big race of the season, so many of us don't yet have 100% handle on our cars either. New engines, electronics, combos etc,
Tech is by the book (so be sure to check NHRA updates too... how about those locking dipsticks?)
We usually only get a few good time trials (as long as the weather cooperates) so your pro tree practice is a good idea.

For all the deep south folks that had the unusual freezing weather, be sure to check your freeze plugs. Some engines froze and pushed out the freeze plugs. Not something we're used to dealing with.

And personally, I recommend a diaper for every car. Not only will save the track major clean up if you have a problem, but it may save you and the car by preventing the slip n slide of oil on tires.

See you there & good luck!
