Default Going to track Sat or Sun, check list.

So if it doesn't raing or snow this weekend I'll be going to get a time...finally.
These are the things I need to do before then.

Check wastegate and reference lines for water or ice. (overboosting a bit last night)

Remove spare tire.
Remover tailgate.
Remove bed cover.
Remove jack kit.
Remove tailpipe.

Can anyone think of anything else that might help me go quicker?

You may want to start with all the weight on the back for traction. If it hooks, pull off a little at a time. On street tires I could not do any weight reduction off the back or I would get no traction off the line or when shifting from 1-2. Just a thought.

Maybe I should just leave the whole box at home too!!
Someone is driving with me so I can't remove the passenger seat either.
I will be launching in 4HI to start with, if time permits I may do a couple of runs in 2WD too.
I did a couple of practice 4HI launches the other nite and she leaves pretty hard and kinda squirely.
