I know Im spinning first gear like crazy, so what rpm should I be launching at? Thanks guys, I know practice makes perfect.
Sick96Stang said:How are u launching now? Are you dumping the clutch from a certain rpm or feathering it? What are your trap speeds like? What I do is revv up to about 2500 then feather the clutch out. Like you said yourself practice makes perfect just got to learn how fast/slow to feather the clutch and how much gas to give it. Some nice tires wouldn't hurt either

The last couple of strips I've gone to were in Northern Ontario. Not necessarily tracks per say, but more air strips that were shut down for a couple of weekend Racing events (North Bay, Elliot Lake). If I'm really looking to run my times, I'll take a 5-hour trek Down South to Grand Bend http://www.grandbendmotorplex.com/ …but I haven’t had the opportunity to do it yet this summer.Mustangl3 said:gearbanger what track do you go to in canda?
berns82 said:Ya, Im basicially just spinning them for 2 secs, thats all. I think Im messing up the launch. Trying to think back, I rev to 2-3k, and drop the clutch and slam the gas, and I just spin. Gonna try less of that and try more traction. Im slamming those gears, shifting at 5500, etc...
