Others can pipe in, but what works best for me was to run that ***** in dyno mode which completely disables traction control and abs. Only recommended on Hoosiers or other drags, not street tires.

1) Pull around the water box and back into it with your rear tires
2) Do a little spin or burnout and pull out the water box
3) Once you are out, do your full burnout with a good 5-6 seconds
4) Take your foot slowly off the brake, and pull up to staging while still blowing the tires
5) Stage
6) Bring your revs up to 900rpms
7) On the last yellow put your foot through the floor board and watch the panty's drop

If you can, let your opposition burnout and stage first, so when you finish your burnout and pull up to the line, all you have to do is wait for the tree.
