But you'll see others:

• change to radials
• massive engine cool down
• adjust timming
• adjust jetting
• connect the secondaries
• increase launch RPM
• increase shift RPM
• let the alternator belt fall behind the pulley
• change to light-weight crisco and forget a few quarts
• Re-calibrate factory on-board computer if applicable
• confirm valve lash is set
• remove air filter
• use the really high dollar fuel
• adjust weight

That covers the legal stuff. Or at least all I can think of right now.

Can you pull the belt behind the pulley? I know are tech man always checks that right before you pull under the tower.
