Default Stupid Question Here

I am thinking of taking my SS to the track. My question is how do I drive my A4? Do I power brake at a until a certian RPM, then when the light turns green, floor it? I will be using my stock tires and dont want to tear them up too bad. Thanks!

the only way to know how to do it is just to go

i know when i went up to richmond the other weekend i had my 235/55/16 all weathers on and thought i could dump from 2500 and hook like i do on the street. not even close i almost had to stall the car just to get a little bit of traction. so that might give you an idea of what traction is like on an f-body with street tires heh. you comin up to vmp tonight?
