i feel dumb for asking, but id rather feel dumb here, than at the track. I never been to a dragstrip, or ran my car so i kinda wanna know how it's done before i go. What are the steps to stagging? how do you know when to stop rolling forward? iv heard you launch when its the yellow light, right before the green one for the best reaction time. anything im forgetting could you please tell? i dont wanna be a noob at the track.

They'll point you out of line into a lane. Then they'll spray water down for you to burn out in, and then you roll up close to the tree. Just watch the guy next to you and get even with him. Next you will roll up and trip the first light. When the guy next to you trips his second light you just barely ease up a couple of inches and you'll trip the second light... then it's on- Yes last yellow light in a 5 speed take off. If you are on street tires leave about 1500 rpm and no more!
