The only thing you should be popping on the street is the hooker on the corner

Really though, even with drag radials, most people cant get traction at the strip popping the clutch, let alone the street (unless your running wide & tall 15" bfg's).

In my honest opinion, you shouldnt ever launch in second. It will slow you down, and cause more harm than good.

The only thing to do is to slip the clutch and feather the gas.
