Hold down the brake, and rev your car just above idle. On the third yellow let off the brake and ease into the throttle minimizing wheel spin. It will take a while to get good at it, but practice makes perfect.

You need to learn how far you can push the gas down. I give it as much gas as it will take without spinning the tires. It's different with every car due to performance mods, suspension and tires.
