Default Ok, smallTTs, I'm here, long day @ work.....

First, just a small admonishment, and let's not let it go any further than this: careful about the drag racer=redneck cracks. Stepping off of my single bar soap box, here's a tip or two that I'll have to keep general, since I've never driven a TT on the 1320.
1)Larger tracks usually have a couple of folks directing cars out of the staging lanes onto the track. Watch them closely and do what they tell you to do.
2)Stay out of the water box areas if using street radials. A wet burnout does nothing for a street radial and you'll end up tracking water up to the starting beams and then you'll be hated by the guys running slicks.
3)When staging, keep a close eye on the top 2 small amber bulbs(prestage and stage). Common courtesy dictates that both cars should light up the prestage bulb before inching forward into the stage beam.
4)After you're completely staged, lock your eyes totally on the last amber bulb above the green. When that bulb lights up-LAUNCH! This sounds kinda strange and I could go into a long monologue about why this is necessary for a good reaction time, but just trust me on this.
5)At the end of your run, there will be 1-4 turn-off areas, use the first one available so the next pair can run as soon as possible.
6)Drive slow in the pit area, being a hot dog just pisses the other racers off and could get you thrown out.
7)Just have fun, you'll probably like it.

Good luck!<p>Jason Dale
