go arround the water box (should be a strip of wateR) dont get any on your tires.

dust off the tires a but (dump clutch and let them spin a little) pull forward untill both little yellow lights on the tree are lit, then get ready to go, if manual, slip the clutch from 2500-3000 if auto, stall it up and let'her rip.

launch when the 2nd yellow light blinks.

goodluck

p.s. what car do you have and what mods?
