You wanna get really fancy with 71?

Learn your engine/transmission/brakes, and use the momentum in your favor.

Shift trans into first while still moving backwards, jab the brake as you're slowing to put the momentum of reverse travel into the tires/suspension, then as the momentum returns in the opposite direction, release the clutch and accelerate.

Again, minimal, but needs to be addressed.
