I spun on the first pass pretty bad pedalled it and then got it back down for the 2.1. The 2.0 passes it spun but not enough to pedal, the good passes there was no spin, just brought it out hard got it rolling and matted it.
I would say it takes practice, but I had ZERO practice launching it before this event. No idea why it 60' well, but it can be done. Your best bet is get to the track, and launch it at idle. Play with it for a few passes and see what it does.
