Heater on sounds not so good to me. When its hot inside, you have a hard time concentrating when your sweating your ***** off, not to mention your hands would be sweaty from the heat, slip off the shifter...? Also, blower motor on would be more electrical load, so alt would charge more.
---- trickle charge, I drive atleast 30 mins to any of the tracks near me. What would be the point to this anyway? Less electrical load?
My tip...dont fly past the staging line, seen it so many times by the noobs, you get laughed at and you look like a jackass. You make yourself easy target on gamblers night...(which is not always a bad thing though, hehe) Also, if you know you cant burn the tires, dont make a fool of yourself and try real hard, it makes you look stupid. If you have street tires, burning them isnt going to help much, probably hurt you if any.

Some tards just run right through them... It's funny to watch the staging guy run up, knock on the window and try to explain to people how to stage. You can tell they get pissed about people not doing it right.
