Atco doesn't have a way to get around it so roll through SLOWLY and then do a light spin at the line to get the tires dry, a "burnout" doesn't do much for street tires, in some cases heats them up and makes them more slick and slippery. Length Atco has a weird setup. Just because you passed the time table doesn't mean the run is over, just keep on the gas until you hit 105 or so (well within your trap speed) and then slow down, don't worry, there's plenty of room (I've coasted down in gear from 100 to 20 with room to spare) GL John!

all I remember from at least maple grove is that its sticky as ****... at least if its hot out. Since we are not High HP we wouldnt spin tires really on the track.. at least not that I could tell lol. if you get your timing right you could probably start going like miliseconds before you think the light is gonna turn green.. it goes fast.

Don't even worry about the lights since its your first time. To many people get hyped up on them for no reason. Just go relaxed, take your time, and have fun.

If you get there when gates open you should be able to get a good amount of runs in. I've never been to cecil so i can't comment, do you know how much it costs to run at cecil?

I went to Atco a couple weeks ago on a T&T morning and it was $35 to run the car....
Dont worry about the lights, Just stage the car and launch when your ready. I sat at the tree for 5 seconds last time trying to set up a better launch..... If the weather is good tomorrow, I may roll down in the morning if the weather is nice. If you get there early (9ish) then you can easily clip 3 runs in 15 mins.... Maybe I'll see you there?
