some how have the car loaded up, with the e-brake holding the car back, on a 2 step or anti-lag. it helps to stop the car from having a shock transfered to the axles

hold the hand brake, rev the car manually or by using a 2 step, slip the clutch enough so that the car is pulling slightly against the hand brake and when the lights drop, stick the gas, drop the clutch and let the hand brake go.....that's pretty wordy, but that's my technique in a nutshell
