I just went to the track last night, opening night of cecil county dragway. My car is completely 100% bone stock, I wanted to get some base times out of it to compare when I mod the car. I have only had the car for 2 weeks, and it is my first stick car, so I have never really launched or racing it before. Well at the line, I thought you could just sit there and hold the clutch in and raise the rpms, well my car inched forward. So I had to hold the brake, and when the lights dropped, let off really quick and just guessimate what rpm to shoot for and let the clutch go. I am still unsure how exactly to launch? Especially if I inch forward at the line? Well my first two runs sucked, I was so nervous and miss 3rd both times. I was trying to hard to slam it into third, instead of just pushing the shifter up, it guides itself into third, right? Well last run, I had a horrible launch, but just pushed the shifter up into 3rd on the 2-3 shift, my run didn't come out as great as I wanted, but the track wasn't really prepped at all, and with everyone breaking,spilling stuff all over the place, it pretty much sucked. I ended up running a 13.6 @ 106mph with a 2.3 60ft. I know my 60fts suck, but I don't want to run drag radials on there and blow the rear possible? I need to do some practicing with my launching, and the track needs to be prepped better. But what do you guys think? I think if I can cut my 60fts down to 2.0, low low 13's is possibly. Any tips on what you guys do on launching? How to prevent from rolling forward? Thanks.

13's are possible. practice is the key. The rolling can be hard with a M6 if the track is down hill.

I was at Cecil also on Friday night. The prep was nonexistant and I pulled a 2.3 60' also. It was the first time I ran my stock 01 WS6 on the track for same base times before mods also. I picked it up in November.
