Go straight to the line and remember to put it in the auto mode from the manual mode. Stage it and bring the R's to about 1500 and let it eat. I always put my side mirror down so I can see when I've roll all the way past the water and you can watch the mirror to see when the slicks start to smoke. Go get that 10 second pass. If you do your burn out in the water all the water gets up inside the fender well and drips down on top of the slicks and your spinning off the line.
The OP is driving an M6 as I am. Should we still shift into second, or just back off on the throttle until it starts to bite and then disengage the line lock and move to stage?
