Assuming that you are going to be on a stock radial tire, it will be a lot of trial and error. For the first couple passes just take off like you normally would from a light to get a feel for the track surface and how it reacts differently than a normal street.

Then I would try leaving at higher rpm like 2k for starters. There is a fine line when your leaving hard, but not totally duming the clutch. Be carefull not to ride through first gear with the clutch still partially engaged too, that will do hell to your clutch.

Expect to run in the mid/low 14's andhave fun for gods sake. That is whats most important after all.

 

well i have nittos and my bro in law has slicks he is going to let me borrow...but see that is the issue how/what will i be doing to the gas when i release the clutch..ok well even if someone told me its better to find out for my self...i guess i have to get the feel of my car...thanks for the info.

 

burnout is not a problem, trust me, just floor it from a stand still, the engine will do the rest. As for getting a good lauch, ive put 1500 miles on my '94 M6 z and i still cant get a good lauch, it will take some work.
