Yes, look for the black box on the ground in between the lanes. Roll up slowly until the first yellow is lit. Then creep forward until the second yellow is lit. It's customary that the first guy pre-stages (lights the first yellow) and waits until the other lane has pre-staged. However, it doesn't always happen like this and at these track rentals it's often a comedy of errors.
The guy with the nasty fast white C6 Vette with the sharked out body kit drove through the light beams with his front wheels and staged with his back wheels. Seen it happen a hundred times.
Some guys drive all the way up to the tree and just sit and wait. After a while, someone goes up and waves him back.
I usually try to give newbies some pointers, but it's easy to forget when you roll up the line and you're nervous as hell. With a little practice it becomes natural and with drag radials, a lot more fun!!! The street tire lane sucks for all but the AWD guys.
