Lower the tire psi to 25, take out the spare and jack. Don't try to rev too much and dump the clutch, first run just try easing off, then if you feel comfortable, try revving to ~2500 rpms and launching. All I can think of right now. Oh yeah, don't get your tires wet in the burnout pit, go around it and then spin 'em, with street tires, you don't need to wet them before you burnout, you will just get water in the lip of the rim and will then drip back onto your tires when you are about to launch. One more thing, as soon as the last yellow light comes on (not the staging lights) launch, by the time you react the light will be green.

Agreed. Oh yeah, another thing, don't have either windows rolled down, they require both of them to be up, and make sure both of the doors are closed, and the hatch is shut, and the hood if you decide to open it sometime. :doh: BTW, you can get a red light for going too far on the second staging light, which you will lose to the other car regardless of if you have a faster time or not. Again, all I can think of right now. If I remember some more i'll add to it, I might be going to the ¼ mile drag track today myself.
