do like a 2k sidestep off the line.. go on the 3rd yellow.. dont wait for green.

if you must granny shift, then do it.. to make sure you dont miss a gear. to hit 4th easiest pull it into forth with the back of your hand facing you, instead of your palm.

and be easy on the 10bolt, and you have to do a pretty decent burnout to get those nitto's sticky enough to hook.
