You can fall flat on your face in 1st, and still run amazing times. I pull away like a stop light, and throttle more until it breaks, then immediately shift to second. I've out-launched modded Mach 1's with this.

As an aside, it's awesome you guys are meeting on the 21st and renting out the track. Wish I could join y'all - maybe next time.
