Proper way to launch car? Track weather is coming up and I want some good times. I added the cam and longtubes this winter and bought some nitto drags as well. I was wondering what methods people use when leaving the line. I never got any lower than a 2.10 60ft. last year because I get too excited and keep my foot on the gas, spinning the tires. I can't help it. So what is the best way? Everyone tells me to "feather it" until the car gets traction but I can't tell so I basically just punch it and let off and punch it again.
On the other hand, I also need to know if I should even be going to the track this year with my stock ten-bolt. I have no money to get a new rear and with my new-found power and drag radials I am wondering if I should just keep it to street racing from a roll until I get the loot to be buy a rear. I know if I get a new rear I will have to get a new clutch and hydraulics too so now we're looking at about $3,000. Should I just go as a spectator?
