i launch b/w 2500-3500 depending on how the track is hooking. The trick is to keep the engine from bogging off the line, I slip my clutch on launch to keep the rpm's up. usually by the time I hit second traction is not an issue and I can flog it the rest of the way down the track.

Take my foot off the clutch at quick as I can (not as fast as side stepping it) at 6000 RPM.

Slipping your foot off the pedal and letting the clutch engage as quick as possible.
