    im assuming the parents bought the car for you? at 16 you pretty much should be thankful for a car like that (i had a $400 chevy celebrity) an dont do anything to piss your parents off.

    with that said, you can visit either website to find out when they are running street drags. www.firebirdraceway.com and www.speedworlddragstrip.com

    At 16 you need a parent with you on race night.

    Does the car still have IRS?

    Do you get wheel hop when the tires spin?

    Battery relocated to the trunk. You must have an external shut off switch on the rear of the car or you can not race at an NHRA track.

    Read my above post about the battery.

    Wheel Hop. Feels like the rear of the car is hopping. Very violent event that breaks parts.
