Its a good laugh, they call you up to the first line, then you get lined up on the actual start line. Christmas tree lights, run down to green, dont jump the lights as you get a reaction time and I think they cancel the run times if you go before the green.
Have no idea of proper starts, I just floored it and sat there with the wheels spinning and smoke coming up, all very exiciting but doesnt do the times much good.
My ones a derv, so I went just to see how it went, 17.5 and 82 mph end speed, get laughed at by the 180's but I was happy.
Just remember you have to drive home at the end of the day, I got 6 or 7 runs, RWYB, and only stopped as the clutch started to smell a bit. Very easy to get carried away, and you think, "next time I'll try this, shave a few secs off".
We had snow and they stopped the runs, loads went home but I stuck around. When they restarted, you just did the run and joined the line of cars, only about 12 in front.
Have heard you have long delays at some of the RWYB days.
Hopefully someone will be along with the right techniques, increase/decrease tyre pressures etc.
Have fun.
