Message	I've never actually done any sort of drag racing before but I plan on doing it quite regularly pretty soon. I'm looking for a few pointers. The main area I am looking for advice is in the launch. I have an automatic tranny so I would need to put in in "D" and hold the brake while pressing the gas before launch. I'm just wondering what a good spot is to rev it to before getting the green light. I don't want to rev so high that I break traction and swing my rear end out but I also don't want to rev so low that I will be playing catch-up. What is teh ideal spot to rev it to? Any other advice is also welcome. Never Play Leapfrog With A Unicorn!!!
