Message	especially bracket, racing is not easy, even in an AUTO car. There's alot of things going on before the run, during the run, and after the run, to make it a successful pass! For that entire 60 seconds or so, there's a ton of things to do. And just to give people an idea, here's my procedure: - pre-run general car check (which is a list in itself) - safety equipment check - boost controller check - 1st gear pre burnout check - turn on nProbe & wideband O2 datalogging on the PDA's - roll up to the water box - do the burnout till you see decent tire smoke - roll up to the staging beams - hit record on the Defi gauges (which I always forget) - stage the car (and I courtesy stage) - raise the revs by foot & e-broke to the proper launch rpm - watch the lights fall - GAS & e-brake down - pray for no wheel spin - correct steering if the tires spin and car goes sideways - hang on for the ride and watch the other car - glance at rear view mirror for any smoke - if bracket racing, prepare to lift off the gas - cross the traps and hit the brakes - on hot day, turn on the heater full blast to cool motor - on hot day, roll the windows down - make sure you turn off before the sand trap :-) It's a very stressful ~60 seconds! Again, not easy! -Arnel Z32racing.com/Z32R.com - Site last updated 3/14/2004.
