brake boost into first beam, bump to second, hit trans brake, let'er rip. Its easiet to do when you have a 2-step on the footbrake and trans brake (3 step i guess technically). Or if you have one of them sweet T-brake bump boxes that Leash makes.

Sorry for the "newbie" question, but can you explain what you mean by "bump to second" ?

Bump into the 2nd staging beam.

Said it perfectly. And by bump to second, he is just meaning to moderate the foot brake to let the car bump forward into the second light. If you JUST light the 2nd beam (Shallow staging) then when you get on the transbrake, the car will naturally roll forward about an inch or two, and you will be staged in the middle usually. Then like Wheelsup said.... let er' eat!
