Paulie,

I press my brake pretty hard to make sure my car doesn't creep forward at the dragstrip (will cause an automatic red light). I press my accelerator pedal down pretty hard to make sure the revs remain at the stall speed when I launch. I always leave my shifter in 'D' and keep the skinny pedal planted against the firewall during the entire run!

Keep me posted. I'm sure you'll lower your time by at least 0.2-0.3 secs this evening if you get a good launch.
