Hey E,
I know what you mean about wanting more 1 run before you get tossed. If you rip off a to fast pass right out of the box you will get tossed. On your first few passes make only half track runs. When you get a warm and fuzzy with your launch, track condition and if she will hook up extend the run a little but apply the binders around 3/4 track. If you braking hard enough for tire smoke even though no loss of control you will get tossed on the spot.

All that said sneaking up on a full track pass is probably a good idea anyway. The big cubic inch cars or those with P adders should plan your runs knowing a full pass will be your last pass. Race the 1/8 mile until then.

With all the recent rain they will have to prep the track to some level but some tracks consider the slower cars run on a Friday as track prep for faster Sat racing. It is night racing so track may/will be cold and slick making 13+ second passes common
