I found that, unless you timed it perfectly, it was easy to fluff the upshift if you held onto 1st for too long.
Better to pull away sharply in first, shift to second almost immediately, then power away.

Yep, that my approch, qucik 1st -> 2nd, the hold 2nd a tad longer before into 3rd..... but seeing as you've not got much RPMs to play within the Ds you can't hold thegears that long anyway.
I also find leaning forward and gripping the wheel tighter adds a wee bit more 'oooomph'.
