Oooh, to do that a thousand miles from home must be painful.

I forgot to mention the water. My technique is to drive around the water box, not through it, (don't want to get those big front tires wet and take water to the starting line), then back into the water to wet the rear tires only. Then forward so that you're not sitting in the water. Then light 'em up. This allows the tires to break traction easily, and when you let up on the brake they're rolling forward into the dry area.
