Proper Launching 101

[Spaz]

Here is what we do.

Now the thing you need to remember though is different tires and setup all act different.

With street tires there is no real need to do a burn out but I still do, I think it not only "warms up" your tires but helps clean them off for better traction. Start with going to the water box doing a 2nd gear burn out (if on slicks). If on street tires do not go into the water box. Then pull up to the line. I always go PAST the double yellow lights and reverse back into the spot. They say this will put you closer to the edge then creeping up to the lights. (hopefully that makes sense) From there it's time to preload the trans.

Yank up on the ebrake nice and tight. Start to release the clutch just enough that it starts to engage and wants to pull forward. Rev her up to your 2step and watch the light drop. Right as it gets down to last light before green let down that ebrake and hold on for the ride!
