For auto trans cars, do you hold the brake down to raise your RPMs then stomp on the pedal and release the brakes and keep the car going straight till the end?
For manual trans cars, do you just launch and shift fast as you can?
I'm sure it's more than just point your wheels forward and drive fast. Any instructions for the newb that might take his car to the track someday?
PS. I saw a thread here about an LSS Shootout. I'd be interested in that if it happens again.

You have an automatic..... not that hard
Just hold down your brake and raise your rpm's to the point where you brakes just about let out but you don't move, think it is around 3,000 rpms for auto... dont hold me to that.
Make sure traction control is off..... start in the lowest gears and then when you launch get off the brake... full throttle.... when you hit around 5,500 rpms shift to D2, then repeat until you get in your highest drive.
