Hold down the up arrow for a few secs. This will set both the main and sublevel as mtomac suggests. This is called Race Mode according to ATS. This only applies to newer CoPilots made this year.

RyanU, make sure to run in T/H mode 3rd gear and low range. When you're spinning out at the end shut off T/H mode or you'll snuff the motor with the converter locked

So THAT's what kills the motor! I wondered why the motor died at the end of a pull.

Shutting it off just a split second before you let out of it should be fine. I always end up letting mine snuff it's self out. Matt

when you stop moving forward shut off T/H while the tires are spinning

It's hard to build boost in low range but you don't need to anyway the sled should start easy. I always get the sled moving then roll on the throttle.
