well if you are used to launching at that RPM I would suggest doing that until you get used to the lights and such.....yeah you may lose, but you are learning still so no big deal. Once you get used to that part start playing around with the car to find the right RPM for the track. If I remember correctly, depending on the track will dictate how hard you can launch and what RPM to do it at.......
I have never drag raced on a track before but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.....LOL
If I am wrong I apologize ahead of time. Above is what I plan on doing.....get used to it, then experiment. No reason to change the way you do everything at first.
