as for the -130 being good air , up here its OK at best in the fall - not hard if you pay attention to get -1000 to -1500 but then the problem on a street night is you lose traction as the air and the track get cold.
I havent raced an f body yet , maybe later this fall when the weather gets good lol but when i was racing my w bodies a lot a couple years ago ( try racing on a cold street night when the power is being transferred away from your drive wheels- 12.2 @118 PB on a 1.98 60 foot) i found this time of year with the early sunsets your best traction comes before they shut down for break at 8 pm , the dew /mist settles on the track then inevitably someone used to being able to slide around on the street hooks after 1/2 track , hits the rail and shuts the place down for most of the night.
I would trailer my car there so it would start the night cool , or before i had a trailer I would park it at the track in the morning when I commuted to mass daily and have a co worker pick me up and drop me back off so I could have good air , cold car , still have some heat in the track , not have a bunch of water dragged all over the place by people that drive through the water with treaded tires.....

they will look closely at tires & brakes , make sure your helmet is snell 2005 or newer , make sure it wont start in gear , make sure your seat belt is good , check for proper overflow , secure battery, etc.. I am sure the faster they expect you to run the more stringent they get
edit: seeing your times they will look much closer than this ^ and make sure you have full cage and everything you need to run 9's

Thanks. Iv been hearing the mph is 10s material.
Well, theres one guy up there that failed me for not enough tread on 1 of my rear tires. He also failed me the year after for having a TINY rip in my pants. What does that tell you?
I got away with 2 passes under 11.49 but they were back to back. On the last one I was waved down..."I think they wanna see you at tech about a roll bar." It was closing time anyway so I never went to talk to anyone. I left happy lol
