I have a few questions. I am heading to the track to drag for the first time and I have an automatic transmission. What possible tips can anyone give me to get a good launch in an automatic? I am running a 3.42 gear
I will be running street tires, should I do a burnout?
And what the heck is power braking?

street tires just turn them over a few times to clean them off no need for a burn out. pull up to the line hold your right foot on the gas and left foot on the brake(powerbraking). get the rpms up a little you will have to try different rpms for best launch in your car with your tires and your track condition.
I should be hitting up the track for the first time in my 98 as well. I was there last night watching how people launch and stuff. But how high can you take the tach to get a good launch and the computer doesn't take over and doesn't let u go anywhere. I was thinken mabey 2500 or is that to high? o yah it a A4 with open 3.08 diffy. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
