Thumbs up

Know that is a good question yet EZRIDN.

The trick is in the launch and second gear shift.

Launch from almost nothing 1500-2000rpm... and prevent tire slip,

Then when shifiting into second (at 5500rpm - not redline), slide the clutch so you don't get a tire slipage. If you power shift, you will get too much wheel spin... that'll put you out .05 to .1.

When you line up... make sure your getting a shallow launch... (give your self more track to work with.

With stock tires, i find that massive burnouts don't do much... Just make sure your tires are clean... wheel spin for abour 3-5 seconds, after going through the water.

Keep looking at your target when you launch... keep your car as straight as possible to the line.
