Default first time

Any tips for a first timer at the strip on how to launch and what gear I should be in when I hit the end. Any other tips would be great also.

Street tires? Launch at 1500-2000 grand max. You should leave it in 3rd through the traps. Good luck.

Slip the clutch around 2000 RPM. Don't dump it you'll, just spin. Shift between 5800 and 6000. You should cross the line in 4th. If you leave it in 3rd you'll hit the rev limiter. Also, practice, practice, practice!
