it's exactly how it sounds.

you try to shift into 2nd but you let out the clutch before you're in gear and you end up revving up in neutral.

or you grind the piss out of it for a second (generally that slows people down too).

if you've ever drag raced or if you ever do, you'll most likely experience the same thing. (unless you have an auto).

Yah, I have an auto and would not know if there are special methods to drag race that way. I would guess it would be manually holding back on the gears until the right RPM? My dyno guy said that some autos, in order to protect themselves, will shift up to the next gear even if you keep the shift lever in the lower gears. I have not really wanted to test that.
