Drag racing question

When at the drag strip, how many runs do you make in a row? I've only been once and I know in most cars you want to wait and let everything cool off but in the diesel you have to keep it warm. I did a few in a row.

mine started getting warm due to high egts and water temp. i have since put on twins and the opie coolant bypass so i should have the prob fixed

i would say if your temps(tranny,coolant) are good you could run back to back

what did you run?

Many cars "Cool off", to avoid heatsoak... I have ran as many as 22 passes in one session. Normally I run 5-10 passes on a normal day depending on the Traffic. I'll hotlap quite a few passes and still run relatively Consistent.
