1) If your car has ESP, turn it off.

2) After staging the car, mash the brake with your left foot and hold it down as hard as you can.

3) With your right foot, mash the gas as hard as you can.

4) Take your left foot off the brake completely and floor the gas with your left foot. You should be able to pull a 1.9x 60ft if your tip is completely stock.

Don't keep the brake and gas floored for too long, as it can heat up the converter and cause damage. Just do it for a second or two.
