Any tips for a n00b so he doesn't embarass himself Twitch :
good ideas for good launch with ZF 6 speed auto, revs etc. manual shift or auto?
best tip is really trial and error, learning from mistakes.

don't let your street tyre pressures down below 30 psi (doesn't really do anything apart from killing your top end speed) but if you're on slicks, then its a different story.

try launching with spool (foot on brakes and slowly build up revs) at 1500 rpm to 3000 rpm. (trial and error, you don't want wheel spin but you don't want to bog it down either).

nail the go pedal as the third orange light comes on (best for R/T, 60ft and overall E/T)
my best R/T is 0.08 but because im still sorta bogging it off the line my 60ft time was 2.250.

talk to other racers and take in their advise. even though they might be in a ricer or holden, majority of the guys and girls there are really helpful and offer advise freely.

last tip, but most important one HAVE FUN! but beware it is SO adictive.
