DO: Pay attention to track officials.

DON'T: Stage with your rear tires!

DO: Drive it like you stole it.

DO: When you're past the signs and slowing down, allow the person that is in the lane closest to the exit, exit first.

when launching launch at a high rpm however if ur tires start spinning like crazy dont stay on the throttle tap it so you can feather it out...u might want to lower your tire pressure a little too..forgot what type of car u have but i run mine at 18 psi (running civic ex 14.3) thats with a shot of nos though.

ur 60foot time is most important the lower the better try to get it somewhere around 2.2 or lower.
