I have the same setup...someone told me to (at the line) bring the clutch out to right where it starts to engage...then when it turns green, bring the rest of the clutch out and slowly give it gas. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to be a good technique

Yesterday at the local track I got the personal best with short time.
The 4 passes I've made, these are my 60' times with street radials.
1.924
1.932
1.960
1.988
I did nice burnout to clean the tires, raised the rpm to 3,000 and let out the clutch little and held until got the green light, release the clutch and gave gas some and went WOT.
Funny thing is, during previous weeks, I always lowered the tire pressure to 22 - 24 PSI (my best was 2.024), but I didn't do it last night, my tire pressure was at 40 PSI, it's weird that I was able to achieve my best short time without messing with the tire pressure.

Okay, that was bad.
Clutch modulation is the ticket. 2-3000 is good, then like others, press on the gas at the same time you let the clutch out. Lots of practice is the key. You may buy the odd clutch, but you will save the diff and pull good 60's.
