Drag Racing

A loacl EV driver's group has booked a night next week at a near by drag strip for EVs. I'm thinking of going. I've never owned a car that I'd ever consider drag racing before! Has anyone done this? Are there major insurance concerns or warnings to heed to?

Tip: Reaction time is increased by taking your right foot off the brake to move to the accelerator. You can mitigate this by left foot braking or not using the brake at all. Since TC cannot be turned off on the i3 at the press of a button, just slam on the gas. You can disable TC by entering dyno mode (google it), but I have never done it so I don't know if it will improve your times.

Have fun! I much prefer road courses, drag racing doesn't really hold my interest for more than a few runs, but it should be fun if it's your first time!
