drive around the water box. (unless u have slicks)
do a quick burn-out, not a john force style one with street tires anyway.
pull up til pre-stage light comes on. (let other lane pre-stage)
pull up a little, til stage light comes on.
remain calm
focus on the tree, and the third yellow light.
when the 3rd yellow comes on. go like hell.
Sounds like experience talking here - good, solid, straight-forward advice. Definately drive around the water box - I'm sure you'll see others with street tires doing the same. Just do a short, dry burnout to heat em up and clean em off. That's all you'll need. Best of luck!
