I Let My Sister and My Girlfriend Race 600HP Turbo Yukon XL: They've Never Done It Before!
What happens here
Before the races begin, the rules for the starting tree are explained. Drivers need to roll into the first amber light beam, and then inch forward to trigger the second amber beam. Once both cars have two amber lights lit, the race starts with the dropping green light. The key is to leave on the second amber light, not wait for the green, to minimize reaction time. This technique is known as 'driving through the tree.'
Goal: Understand the drag strip starting procedure for optimal launch.
