fast forward to 1:15 and do one of those #'s...

no seriously start out in first, shift to second manually and get them to smoke.
make sure to put it back to 3rd before staging.

well, that's how I normally do it, lol, but I just want ed to make sure that was right.....

I think I'm gonna give it a shot starting in second, gave a "dry run" on a damp road the other day in second and it seemed to light them up pretty easily, Vince from FLT said he'd rather start in second and shift to third in the box to make it a little easier on the tranny. (I think it was him who said that on Tech)

blurp the tires in the water box. Line lock on, 2nd gear and let it rip. I go till there is enough smoke ( its takes time and practice, but after a while you will figure out what works for your setup). once they are warm enough i release the line lock and pull with in 5 feet of the tree. put it into 3rd, blurp the throttle to make sure the tires will stick
