Meh I'm not gonna give up yet. I agree with Mishri that if anything the drag strip is fun just because where else can you do 0-100mph legally.

At some point though a person has to know their limitations. I shouldn't need to run the car 50-60x before I start to improve. At that point something needs to change. Either I need to ditch the car and get the auto or I need someone who knows what they are doing to help me out.

Should I be trying to practice this stuff before I go to the drag strip? It's illegal ofcourse to hit 60mph on most roads around here but it might be easier on the car to practice launches that way since I don't need to go balls out for 1320'.
You can smell the clutch without much effort. Just lower your windows after a couple runs. haha

What tires are you running? I found the sweet spot for my pirellis(worst tires in the world, imho) was about 1800-1900 RPM and feathering the hell out of the clutch.
