Why waste your first run ???
Before race day :
Try a few practice launches at 2000 rpm and up it 500 rpm till you find the right balance between minimal spin, zero bog, and acceleration.
Race day :
Lighten the car ... spare tire, tools, wear thin socks
(that's a joke son) etc. ... 1/4 tank (or less) ... leave your girlfriend home.
Street tires really s*** ...
try starting at 22lbs ~ 18lbs ~ stop when you start to wobble at the top.
Burn outs with street tires are useless ... avoid the water
When leaving the lights : Feather smoothly and quickly without pedaling ...
Power shifting 2nd only hurts the car and your ET - better to quick shift.
Don't let off till you are past the traps for sure.
Good Luck :-0
Let us know how you did
ps :
NICE Ride .. I see that you have already lightened your apparel !
