try between 4000 and 5000 and see where youre most comfortable with

find the point where your clutch can't hold anymore, and then go a little less. Like on my car 5000, the clutch slips, 4500, just right

When you guys launch at 4000-5000rpm do you guys just stomp on the gas or just increase it slowly while racing?

I stomp the gas, but feather the clutch.

can u explain what "feathering" the cluth is? how to do it?

Blitzbaster02 · 11-19-2002, 09:28 AM

Let the clutch out about 60-70%, then as soon as you feel the car catching, quickly let out the clutch, but don't just drop it. Some people just totally drop the clutch, but I have never tried that. Does that help? I can try to explain more if you don't get it.

dont stomp on the gas until youve hooked or youll spin all the way.
