I roll up and shallow stage like already mentioned, and then footbrake to 1500-1800rpms. When I go I let off the brake and quickly, yet carefully roll into the throttle until the car starts moving then punch it as soon as you are out of the hole. This wasn't my best run ever, but it is filmed from right at the starting line so you can clearly see what I'm doing as I come up to the line and how the car hooks. This run was a 1.97 60ft (my next pass was my best, a 1.94) http://www.reidonly.net/videos/09-25...il_Reid-02.wmv I raced on 245/45-17 Continental street tires and I was hooking 1.9X 60fts... and they were balder than bald - no joke lol.
