The reason i told him to put it in 1 was to skip all this downshifting BS. hold it in 1, on the 3rd beep smash the gas and move the selector to D. Done right and at the right speed this will make you haul. probably put a car on a stage 3 ion within a second doing this (he later caught up).

And if you want to go from a dig, you should get some practice. but that entails beating on your tranny more so....
