I want the best track prep available. Even if it is a few extra bux
Few things come to mind:
Probably want it during the very start or end of season so you can get good drag weather.
Far enough in that cars will be finished from winter builds and have some testing done.
I would not really care for food and would rather a regular spring meet so there is ample time to socialize and enjoy the day. I tend to be really busy(focused) at drag days.
