I tried the last part on the holding the brake pedal down and tried to push
the accelerator pedal and it still creep forward.

Avoid the water box at all costs with street tires. If you have to drive
through water, go very slow. Do a burnout on dry pavement to get the tires
hot
and to clean them off. Watch the tree before your up to bat. See how many
amber lights go off before green. You want to drop and plant on the last
amber,
not wait for the green to light. If automatic, stage, press your brake
hard,
get the RPMs up in gear, whatever doesn't get you wheelspin on brake
release.
When last amber light lights , let off the brake, don't mash the gas yet,
let
the rear end hook up then mash it. Hold it there till you pass the finish
line.
Practice makes perfect.
