Track Night Tomorrow any tips?

Hey first time tomorrow night in on an actual track running. Gonna do some runs at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis, just south of Dallas. Anyone have any good tips? Never ran on a track before. ie - should I take out some air in the front, what RPM should I idle before digging, should I try double clutching or just regular shifting stuff like that...

I am not too sure since I havent been to the dragway yet .. but from other forums (if you have the ss/sc) I see people putting bags of ice on there blower and/or cai.. but from taking off you deff dont wanna hit it to hard so you dont spin the tires bad or get wheel hop

Well... possibly a little late... but drop your tire pressure to 20 PSI or so...
