    all good advice above ^^^my advice about same as Dave's... I would try 25psi short dry burn (don't power-brake it) stage shallow (just far enough to light the second stage light), stand on the brake and rev it the converter. When you see the third amber, let 'er rip!

    You will have a better chance of hooking up in the groove but I know some tracks will specifically not allow street tires to run in the groove as it tears up the rubber more they want you to run outside... as said, you'll do better in the groove so run there if they let you. Most importantly... HAVE FUN!!!

    Let us know how it goes...
