Default Going to the track for the first time.

I am taking my new M6 SS to the track saturday for the first time. I have raced before but not a manual.

1.) What is the best way to burn out and warm up the tires...I am used to power brakeing.

2.) Best way to launch and shift points(This car will get sideways shifting into second going 50mph)

3.) What time can I expect to run on a 1/8th mile.

If you are using street tires just spin them enough to get the dirt off them . I notice you are running a pretty wide tire in the back that might slow you down a little more . What track you going to ?
