Auto's are different. They apply the front brake, load up the TorqueConverter and they fire away.
Wheel spin at the start is a killer so you need to hold revs at your power band and increase revs as the tyres grip.

Re: power start?
is it FWD or RWD ? if rear wheel drive then its the brake pedal to hold as it puts most bias on the front.
FWD not so sure

Automatic - left foot fully pressed on brake pedal - Right foot fully dperessed on accelerator.
Release left foot and off you go
Manual - switch off ESP etc. pile on about 4000rpm = petrol or diesel and take left foot of clutch whilst flooring the accelerator. It'll give the tyres a bashing but you'll get off the line quickly.

Thread moved to drag racing, as it seems more relevant to this motorsport.
