On a crappy track (no prep) you need to run your car like its on the street. You need to leave the line smooth and easy without getting all the way into the gas until you're well off the line.

I tried leaving the line at idle on my third run and mashed it after the 60 ft mark. Nothing but spinning sideways so I said screw it and went home. I was letting my temper get the best of me after that run.
