Re: Advice for first time at the track

I always skip the water box. Turn my tires over. Back up, do a practice launch to get a feel for where I should launch.

Courtesy stage. Then stage. Take off at the last yellow and then if I'm in the right lane, I let them(the person I'm racing) get off the track before I do.
