Launching in 2nd would likely:
A) Bog the motor down
B) Abuse the clutch

I'd stick with first.

I wouldn't try it either, especially on a sticky track. Good way to smoke a clutch, or at least set it back a few thousand miles. Mine will light 'em up on the street leaving in second (tried it once or twice), but the track would prolly be devastating. Trylowering your RPMor feathering the clutch in 1st instead.
