well, they compliment is true but not free.

how do you launch? i am obviously launching like crap. i really wish i could be at navasota. uncle sam has "better" plans for me in the idea of a drill weekend

1,000? thats like idle. so u just idle the car pretty much? if i hit my gas at that rpm i'll spin out i think

viper,
are you hammering the throttle when the light changes?

some of the guys cutting really quick times are stalling to about 1500,
taking foot off the brake and rolling a couple feet,
then rolling into the throttle, rather than slamming it.

wish i had more practice to say what works best for me

i am flooring it, its so hard to stay off it off the line when the other guy reacted b4 u and looks like he is leaving. i seriously need practice. if only i could have made it to navasota. would have been a good chance to practice

if you stall the car up for too *long* it will start to pull timing.
you want to hang on the brake, and as soon as youre opponent stages (or you stage, whichever is second) you want to immediately get your revs to where you want to launch from.

if you beat the opponent to the line and stall up and hold it for 20 seconds, when you launch it will be like a pig because of the timing the engine begins to pull
