I suggest that no one tries that technique, it is counter-productive.
*shrugs* Worked for me. Could just be dumb luck, but I tried it after someone suggested it a while back (he had the same setup as me but kept getting better times) and it did give results in all of the cars I have owned since.

Used the ebrake before the run in the parking lot, and then lined up. Went from 14.5 to 14.0 and stayed around that area.
