Try both and see which works best.
Being your first time I would recommend going to the drivers meeting which will be held just before racing starts. They will explain which lanes to line up in, go over safety rules, etc. You might even want to watch a few passes from the staging area to see how everything works. It can get a little hectic once you get close to the front of the line when you're starting your truck, getting on a seat belt, putting on a helmet, rolling up windows and making sure everything is good to go. The more prepared you are the better. And lastly, have fun!
Oh, almost forgot, when you cross the finish line start braking hard. The turn out can come quick so be prepared on your first trip down.
