We're doing a drag race tonight for local charity and i'm thinking about doing it as well.

Any advise

Oh... it's legal btw and police will be there as well

Ping the revs off the limiter in first with your foot on the clutch, then side step the clutch and bezz it off in a cloud of smoke* in your 1 litre Sporting 106...seems to be how most of the chavs I see think you get a good start.

*may or may not always be from the tyres.

I guess it depends what you drive.

Psyche them out by turning off your engine once you've staged. Guaranteed win.

Got RX8.

Well i lost against:
1. Jaguar 3.2L L reg cos forgot my traction control still on

2. New Corsa VXR cos missed a gear

3. CRX VTEC cos won't go up to 4th gear :rolleyes:

Oh well like they say, RX8 not a drag car but fun to drive around the bend
