Drive around the water, do a very short burnout rolling toward the starting line (don't smoke the tires), bring the rpm's up just above idle 800-900rpm to slightly pre-load the drivetrain, floor it when you see the last yellow. I used this exact method to sqeeze a 13.00 out of my wifes SS. Good luck.
