first time at the track, I suck!
I ran a 14.2 as my best time with a 2.4xx 60' time. I know enough to know that is terrible, but that is about it. Coming off the line the car fell on it's nose (I think this is referred to as "bogging"). I am unsure how to make it launch better. On one pass I ran the rpms up a bit and dumped the clutch, that resulted in a ridiculous amount of wheelspin. Also, I had an issue with wheelhop shifting into 4th. Am I doing something wrong? I shifted from 3-4 the same as 1-2 and 2-3.

Shouldn't wheelhop in 4th...that's weird lol. Given the fact that you are on drag radials i'd start with maybe 3500 rpm, and do a quick slip on the clutch, and go from there depending on the result
