Dont launch in reverse
go around the water if you have FWD and do a small burn out to clean your tires if you want. Make sure you stage correctly giving the other person time to line up. Line up untill you see 2 yellow lights bla bla bla, go on green, hall ass unless you pass the 1/4 marker. I usually go all the way to the end of the track unless your car is slow you can take the first turn off.
Than get your time slip and repeat.
