If you're gonna do a race like that again, you may also want to seriously think about getting a rear undertray. The stock rear bumper generates a lot of drag and acts almost like a parachute at high speeds.

Thanks
Thanks
The only other prep was topping off the oil, putting on the bra, and making sure the tires had no nails or damage at all. Metal valve caps with o-ring seals are required so the valves don't release air from the high centrifugal force. Metal valve stems are recommended but I didn't have time to do that.
120 class also requires a fire extinguisher mounted safely with tape over the release and 5 or 6 point harnesses (3" competition) that are correctly mounted. There can be nothing loose in the car. Firemen crack your harnesses down so tight in the staging area that you can barely breathe too.
