Seat time. Practice and practice. Get your 60ft down. Since your auto just let the car do the work on the launch, pedal it till you know you never have to lift again, and steer. In time it'll come.

Local track...Rock Falls raceway...1/4 mile. I dont want to put that much money into the camero. If it was going to be close I would run it but I think I will take my Grand National and beat him with a little 6 banger
