stomp the gas and dump the clutch! that always looks good. no i would take the car outon a back road somewhere and practice taking off. if you are going to run street tire try taking off with out spinning. just roll off of ther line easy and then nail it. try different launching rpm's. if you running with slick try the same thing but look for the rpm that doesnt bog the car down.</P>

Holy shizzle! Some harsh words, huh? Either way rev it to 2000 rpm and let go of the clutch, if it grabs nail the gas and go. But please if you see me dont kick my ***, you scared me.<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley6.gif border="0">

I'll agree with 84stang, get your rpms up and let the clutch out. On street tires it'll be hard not to get some spinnig, but try to keep it to a minimum. Its better to spin a little than to bog way down.

For some strange reason I have no idea why they thought you said you were going to race on the street.

Next time you should try reading what you're writing and check it for accuracy. If you don't, you'll get flamed for saying something you didn't intend to say, and you'll look like a big moron when you start freaking out like this.
