Now guys I am still pretty new with racing and tuning cars after all i just got my first car 5 months ago but i was wondering if you guys no any tips u could give me on how to race? I mean like at the line should i hold my brake and gas at the same time and then let go of the brake and just floor it?

Im not experienced at all in racing, but the only tip I can give you is to...

Do it at the strip, not on the street.

Brake torque it (hold the gas and brake) until the stall speed of the torque converter so you load it right. Then, on go you don't mash the gas. You need to practice to find the right throttle point where you accelerate hardest without spinning your tires. As you launch, you can give it more gas as your tires get moving without breaking them loose.

Spinning tires only wastes energy and they take longer to get energy to the ground. It's all about the balance, but you have to practice. Also, resist doing smokey burnouts. Enough of those and your differential (for lack of a better word) explodes.
