By the way guys, ...what type of helmet should I get for the drags?
Where from & how much? Obviously I don't want to rock up wearing just a beanie, ...but on the other hand, I don't want to look like Darth Vader either!

There is Revolution Racegear and also Cully's Race Equip I go to Cully's, they're on Wanneroo rd, just off Read hwy. As for launching your car I couldn't tell you. A dragster is a whole different kettle of fish. 
For starters it is automatic (C6, soon to be powerglide with trans brake) and we aim to cut the best possible light. I ususally leave as the second amber goes out and the third amber is coming on. That is running without a trans brake. With a trans brake I'd be leaving on the last amber.
