You can do it by staging first beam, building your revs to where you want, then, once you can hold your desired rev point, slip your clutch slightly so you break the second beam, then watch the lights, and away you go. You just need to be in control of your nerves and know where your revs are
Good point! :D

I dont think he could even hold 2nd in the burnouts, sounded like it was dying on his last attempt, horrid sounding thing that was :?

I see him all the time at the drags, he was at too hot to handle aswell, he definately likes doing skids 8) but at least hes out there having a go!!

Ahh ok, I raced him AGES ago when I had my old Prelude - can't remember the time he did against me but there was quite a huge distance between us. I guess it'd be silly to assume he has become no faster in around 3 years of racing haha

Good on him for racing regularly for ages, I'd imagine he'd be a machine in DYO by now.

Lol me to :) Probably at one of the 1st meets i ever went to which it must have been if you still had your prelude. I honestly don't think he's got any faster just alot more consistant with his 15.6 at 8mph passes but for some reason he still can't slean up in dyo. I remeber absolutely blizting him off the tree in my skyline in the dyo section and of course he jst failed to catch up. FYI he was supposed to have a 1.6 second start on me and i left on the 2nd amber and he'd only just started moving. Weird but on that ocasion i beat him by the full 1.6 he was supposed to have on me. That was et only so i suppose if his reaction had of matched mine we would have been dead equal. My rt was however a full 1.2 quicker than his, i'm sure he was asleep :D
