Default 4L80E shifting 1st to 3rd at the track

I'm wondering if its possible to make a 4L80e skip 2nd at the track, so I could have good streetability, but at the track it would act like a glide. I'm building a big tire street car for drag week, but have never messed with autos before.

1st to 3rd would be a mistake. Do you want a transbrake unit?

Get a 2nd gear leaver transbrake unit and lay the power to it at the line and do a 2-3 shift only.
