Pull up so your back tires are just out of the water (If you have a good track employee, he will help you). As you do your burnout, look in your SIDE view for smoke and once you see smoke, hold it for an extra 1-2 seconds and drive out of the burnout! Don't let off the gas when you are coming out of the burnout. You need to actually give it a little more gas while you drive out of it because the tires will want to grab. I found the sweet spot staging the car from 1600-1800 RPM or right on the verge of the coverter wanting to lock up.

I will also note that the track prep is VITAL for you to acheive 1.7 60's. Atco is great and Glen and I are lucky to have this track near us. We <3 Atco!
