well i get at the track about 7pm and right before our lane goes, a car blew its motor up on the track. so by the time i went it was 9 nad they rushed us. i get at the line and i was so nervous cuz this was my first time at the track with a 5spd. so i just slipped the clutch and got a bad launch and spun threw first nad my 60 foot was 2.6 and i ran a 15.1 at 100. then my second run i forgot to turn off the traction control and ran a 15.2 at 98 with a 2.7 60 foot. i was very pissed and goin back on friday....can someone please give me some advice on how to lauch the car with this IRS!!! thanks alot -Jeff

you just need to calm down a bit before anything else. sounds like me when i first started a couple years ago
when i go to the track i do a little burnout to clean the tires and creep up to the tree and trip the second light, then i get ready for the tree to drop but im launching at 3-4rpms and when i see the third yellow im gone. but if u are launching like i do u got to ride the clutch a little. the way i do let the clutch a little less then half way out and when the tires grip but they dont spin then i let the clutch out all the way and i got a 96gt stock i only went to the track once and only got 4 runs in and had one ok run in which was 14.5 1/4 with 2.0 60'
