Default Questions for the track.

Hey guys, this is my first time posting here, but I read tech stuff here all the time. I'm going to be going to the track for the first time and wanted to make sure I have the right knowledge before I go.

Ok, so the way I understand it. When you pull up to the lanes. You do a burnout first, then the 2 cars pull up and set off a stage 1 light? Then you both go up and set off the stage 2 light? Then when both stage 2 lights go off the tree lights up and your off? I wanna make sure I have it right so I dont' look stupid and do somethign worng.

Also, any other tips I can get would be great. Thx guys.

Its almost right, another thing...make sure you drive around the water and not through it... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

When you stage you can stage right away and just wait for the other guy to completely stage, but the "nice" way to do it is to make your first light go on, then let the guy next to you get his light on, then you move up and light the 2nd one, then he does, then its go time.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
