i launched at about 4k... i tried slipping it a little bit sometimes...
my tires are good, they are Yoko AVS ES100 245/45 in rear, im just afraid of my clutch, b/c when i try to slip it form high rpm's it slips bad and i gotta wait a min for it to cool down... but id did well tonight, i was told to try and feather the clutch on my launch from 1500 rpm... which surprised me, then work up until a certain rpm hurts my time..
