If you're on a really **** track, loosen the shock on both settings. Obviously the biggest impact will be the front shock in this scenario with an automatic transmission car. Poor starting line, get the front shock as loose as you can (in extension) and shift weight as far back - and sometimes even as high as you can to help plant and pitch rotate.

Loosening the extension on the rear shocks will help hit the tire harder into the track surface, and if your front shocks are loose enough and you've got enough weight in the back - you should be able to get it rolling.

On a good track, keeping weight low and to the middle or forward on the car will always be the fastest. But on bad tracks - you've gotta do what you've gotta do...
