Default A4 Drag Racers ???

When you are at the strip, what gear do you run the car in? Or do you manually shift the car? I've found that I run better times if I leave the car in third the whole time. What do you all do?

I leave the car in 3rd and don't look back. Let the car shift itself, you'll be more consistant and will avoid the chance of hurting the tranny.
