Second gear, hold till I see some smoke....not like you. Them I roll out of the water spinning and let them go until the start grab. They hook good, I just don't transfer weight well...watch this video

That was a 1.8 60'...beat that bird too.
What do you mean, "not like you" WTF!!
I assume he just heats them until he barely sees smoke, unlike other people who smoke their tires for a good few seconds or so...

Nope, quick spin in the water, roll out, second gear smoke down, roll out till they grab. Actually that's me comin out of the box in my sig. Notice the front end is extented up as it starts to grab. On my way to stage

A line lock would probably help me too. Sometimes it is hard to spin em up in second when you have to pop it and go for the brake.

Y'all should try halfof your rightfoot on the brake and the other half on the throttle while your left foot is on the clutch. I've done burnouts that people swear my car is an auto.

Also, would taking my front sway off at the track help my launch? I've heard people doing it, but will it help me?
