Hey man,
Get those 60 ft times down. Your car is a 12 sec car no problem with traction.

you're getting killed on the low end.look at you're 1/8 mph.that should be enough for 12's.tires and a good launch.2.4 60ft's is pretty bad.practice

try launching with less revs, and build up the revs as you get better at feathering the clutch. launch at 1500, with a clutch drop, and i bet you will drop the 60' to about 2.1, and that should drop that time by 1/2 a second at least. that would put you at about 13.2. then just raise the revs, and lern to launch it.
