Tracks vary, so check your own local track. Historically, it started on old airstrips, so those will be concrete. Most older purpose-built tracks are asphalt. A select few new ones are all concrete, but most newer ones are concrete launch, with an asphalt end. This is talking about the big boy's tracks. In my experience, street traction is not the same as at the track. If it's like most tracks, the starting line is a bit more slippery. If you go to a well-prepped track, you can't walk across it with your shoes untied. Instead of just trying to get the launch perfect, mentally picture the line, lights, starter and the thousand other things that compete for your attention at the line. Get used to those, and how you get up there and launch. The guy who has done it a thousand times has the same heart and breath rate as just sitting in the pits with the engine off. The jitters are easier to "practice out" than the traction, which can change hour to hour.
