If I where you, I would take it easy on the first few passes.

Who cares. Eric knows that **** happens. Keep it in the groove and don't think about crashing the entire time. Focus on your shifting, focus on your driving....9 seconds of thinking about crashing can't be a good thing to have going through your head during a pass.
Everyone has seen drag cars eat concrete....part of the game. Next Tuesday should be a fun time, not a worrysome fearfest. Respect the car, enjoy the ride, make the 9 sec pass, and then improve upon it.

So when is the next date you plan to race?
We need to turn the speculation of what it can run into some real numbers. The temps are cooling down a bit and now is your time to shine.
I would do a shake down pass and make sure it leaves straight and at the top end at the finish line at WOT with a 85% full pass is stable. After that let it rip on the next run.
You'll be fine. Good luck the next time out. You need to run less tire pressure BTW.

My safety gear is only good for 10.00 and no faster than 135MPH.
I plan on making a few 1/8th mile passes to get situated then make my full pass which will get me kicked out.
I want to run 15-16 psi in the tires because I'm afraid of breaking the transmission.

On an old episode of "Password" game show, there was a black couple playing. The husband was having to say hints to describe the word on the screen, and the wife had to guess. The on-screen word was "deer" and the husband tried a few words, then without much luck said "doe" and the lady responded quickly with "****!" 
There was a 2 seciond pause, and then the audience roared with laughter. The host was laughing so hard he had to walk off stage!! She later tried to sue the gameshow for racism reasons, but, of course, didn't win.
