Keep your weight forward and over the tank
Start off with low-rpm launches
Learn and practice clutch-throttle management

Have Fun!

easy off the line, youll gain more with a grandma launch then a wheelie fightin one, each run go up a few 1000 RPM till the wheel just floats on the ground. Run in the tire groves of the cars, the center of the track may be slick from cars spilling fluids.
