How to run 1/4 mile, First time

Remove jack and tools and anything else for weight savings. 1/4 tank of gas saves weight over a full tank. Bring a helmet. Pay race fee. Go to tech inspection.

Park your car and walk up and watch where people are lining up and where the water is that you will want to drive around. And where you will be stopping to light up the 2 sets of yellow staging lights. You will need to pay attention to the track workers that will signal you on when to leave the staging line and move forward, and when to get on the track. Line your car up straight and slowly creep forward until the first set of yellows lights up, and a couple inches forward for the 2nd yellow lights, then hold the brake firm as you are ready to watch the lights and go. You should have the VDC switched off, and the trans in manual mode. You can just stomp on the gas and hold it to the floor the whole run. Watch the lights and try and go in time with the last yellow lighting up just before the green. Try and shift at exactly 7500 but no later as you may end up hitting the rev limiter. After your run slowly come back on the return road and pick up your time slip at the booth.
