Yeah I wouldn't recommend trying a log on surface streets. I always just pull onto the highway on ramp and if there is traffic I pull to the shoulder and wait. When traffic clears, get up to third gear as quickly as possible with manual mode at a low'ish rpm and make a hit that way(do not press kickdown switch if its enabled). Run it to redline or until it shifts and let it coast for a few off throttle before closing the log.

I also do at least 1 press of DSC to make sure there is no traction control interference.
