How dumb can he be to try and launch with a giant red "R" lit up on the dash 
?? If it were a manual, I still wouldn't even cut him much slack..
Oh, and the 1-2 'shift' took him like a full second to figure out. It's pretty simple, you just pull the paddle and the car does the rest.

Hi,
I kind of feel for the dude, at least he's taking it to the track, albeit a drag strip. I know my first night having runs at the drags I was really, really nervous - intimidating seeing everyone around you knowing exactly where to go next, etc. etc.
Better luck next time!
Cheers,
Nik

Backing up to the line, adrenaline rushing, I forgot to flick it back into 1st.
I'm sure there's a vid of it somewhere on the interwebz. I obviously have no desire to find it

The commentary had so much comic potential but that guy failed hard.
