Hold the brake and rev the engine up to about 1800rpms then just left off the break and quickly roll into the throttle when the lights go green. You will have to feather the throttle as it will definitely spin (or at least mine does).
Remember that you aren't too worried about reaction time (unless you have a grudge against the guy next to you). At a place where you get so few runs, just make sure to pay attention and get a good launch vs. trying to beat the competitor off the tree.
Let us know how it does! It should be a mid to low 12sec car, especially with those 60's!
