Default Newbie to Track

Ok, I'm seriously considering just taking my Z to the track for ONE time just to see what's it like.

1. Will be done on street tires.
2. It's only $10!
3. I've got an A4 with mods listed in my sig.
4. Is a "burn out" necessary?

Basically I wanna just see it and experience it, and see what I can do for a 1/4 mile time.

Suggestions for a newbie?

don't do a burn out, go around the water box. just foot break it till the tires break free for a second and stop, just to clean off the tires.
a lil bit of wheel spin is good w/ the stock verter, it will get you up in the rpms faster.
don't worry about reaction time, it won't affect your ET, just launch when you're ready.

calongo_SS said it right dont do a burn out, some street tires seem to get less traction when you do a burn out. Just go out and have fun thats what its all about
