Question Question???

Ok i have a 96 transam that i just rebuilt the motor in that now has 4,000 miles on it and the car has 134XXX miles on the car. so would it be safe to take the car to the sticky, sticky, sticky 1/4 (Texas Motorspeedway)Drag Strip and not blow it up? (have replace it with all new fluids)

yet i have some bald rear tires that i might replace within the next week? or should i just keep them on for awhile

i see no reason you would be in any worse shape than the rest of us. there is always the chance of breaking something no matter how bullitproof your settup is. since you have an m6, its really gonna depend on how you drive and how hard you launch, wathc out for the 10 bolt if you think your gonna hook
