Actually since it's a 6spd car:
1)annhilate the rear tires during the burnout(read that a quick spin)
2)roll up slowly till both top lights come on(the stage lights are right past the cone.)
3)hit the gas when the 3rd yellow light comes on(this)
3b)Pray the rear holds together
4)when you get to the end of the track, slow down & turn around(yup)
4a)stop at the booth and get your time slip.
5)drive back and sit in staging lanes for a hour(pretty much)
6) repeat 1 through 5(and have fun)
