New Lightning Owner: What gear do I use when racing?

This is the first automatic I have ever owned, so excuse my ignorance. So...what gear do I use when racing my Lightning? 1st, 2nd, Drive, or a combination of the 3? Should I turn OD off?

For Drag Racing your gonna wanna just leave it in drive. Turn OD off. And work on the launch. Launch is the most important thing to it... GL.

For drag racing, put it in drive, leave the OD on. It won't get to 4th gear anyhow.
