I've got 245/50ZR17 Michilin Pilot Sports, so I just pretty much floor it. These tires stick like hell.

As to your original question. Go when you see the last white light.... hit it! Don't wait for green!!! Your R/T will say a lot as to if you lose or win. My current R/T sucks right now but should get better as I run. Current time is 15.975@86.29. This is an SE with a 300lbs driver. My R/T is .891(sucks). My goal is an R/T of .001
