You forgot a couple.

7. Have your car tuned beforehand, have a spare laptop battery for track tuning.
8. Don't forget your race gas.
9. Bring extra axles.
10. Fix boost leak.
11. Put IC couplings back on, again, and again.
12. Replace blown clutch in the pits that puked on the line.
13. Pick pieces of xfer case off the starting line.
14. Apologize to the track guys for picking up your xfer case parts off the starting line.


Just a few I could think of off the top of my head. Running 12's is a piece of cake, running faster than that gets increasingly harder.

You guys wouldn't be the first ones here to brag about theoretically running 10's right off the trailer. Hell, Swifty does it every spring.
