How do you launch?

Say you're running my truck (in sig. below), and you're at a stoplight w/ that ricer or duraslug sitting next to you. What do you do?

Do you build 10 lbs. of boost and launch in 2wd?

Do you just mash the go-pedal when the light turns?

Do you wait till you're rolling, then pull 4wd in, and go to the next stoplight and launch in 4wd so you don't just spin across the intersection w/ all that boost?

Just curious on how I should go about getting faster off the line, in just the stoplight to stoplight races.

What's your take on it?

Later, Josh.
