Anyways, he was at the light reving his car like crazy, i just kept calm and was looking at the other light to see when it turned red. As it got to the yellow i started to get ready, once it hit green i launched without any wheel spin.
I think they stopped making Mavericks in the mid seventies, and I've never seen the yellow light come on before the green light unless your at a race track. Just an observation.
