I've been to the track one time in my life to actually run. MANY years ago with my '66 GTO. Did a lot of work on that car. Even with nearly all of first gear going up in smoke, I still pulled a 13 second run. I think it is just like anything else. It takes practice to get good at it. But bear in mind, EVERYTIME I went to the track as a spectator, I saw at least one person lose an engine. So there are risks involved. Those fire trucks standing by are there for a reason.
